U.S
The long-awaited green light has arrived from the Food and Drug Administration for the emergency use of the vaccine developed by Moderna against the Coronavirus. The approval of the US drug agency allows immediate administration for those over 18, while the already approved Pfizer can also be injected for those over 16 years. FDA Commissioner Spephen Hahn rejoices: “With the transparent and scientific review process, two vaccines were quickly approved in compliance with rigorous safety standards.” The agreements between the United States government and Moderna provide for a supply of about 200 doses, with almost 6 million already leaving for the first phase of vaccinations. Unlike the Pfizer vaccine, Moderna’s vaccine does not require special cold storage and is distributed in smaller batches. In this way, explains the New York Times, it is easier to transport even in less populated areas and in smaller health centers.
Sweden
For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, the Swedish government has decided to introduce the first containment measures for coronavirus infections. The decision comes as the country faces a new record of daily infections, almost 10,000 in the last 24 hours, and after King Carl Gustaf literally persecuted the executive for mistakes made in handling the pandemic. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven then invited the population to wear masks on public transport during peak hours, as well as to avoid being in the restaurant with more than four people at the same table.
