“The United States will be vaccinated against COVID-19 from 14”
According to AP, Bloomberg, etc., on the 12th (local time), the Vaccination Advisory Committee (ACIP), an advisory body to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inoculated the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine in a vote of ’11 to 0 ‘at the meeting. Recommended to do.
This is just one day after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hastily approved the emergency use of the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine late on the 11th day. Vaccines must be cleared by the FDA after recommended by FDA’s Vaccines and Biopharmaceuticals Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) for FDA approval, and should be accepted by CDC after ACIP within CDC recommends it through a meeting. The role of the FDA is until the vaccine is approved for distribution, and to inoculate the arms of real people, you must go through the procedures within the CDC again. CDC Director Robert Redfield’s approval appears to be a matter of time. ACIP initially planned the meeting on the 13th, and then hastily moved it forward to the 12th. In fact, the administrative process for approval of the vaccine took only three days. The royal crown 19 vaccine is expected to be vaccinated from the 14th.
General of the Army Gustav Ferna, director of operations (COO) of the US government’s COVID-19 vaccine development program ‘Operation Warp Speed’, said in a briefing: “Since the morning of the 14th, the Pfizer-Bioentech vaccines will be delivered to 145 delivery destinations in the United States. It will begin to arrive. ” “Hospitals will start urgent vaccinations with staff,” Reuters said. Distribution to local pharmacies and other state-designated vaccination facilities is approximately three weeks later.
The United States is the country with the highest number of confirmed corona19 and deaths, and the country that has accelerated the development of vaccines. American vaccination appears to be a major turning point in seeing if it can win the war against the pandemic. That’s why the world is paying attention to whether the American vaccine can change the rules of the game. FDA Director Stephen Han told a news conference the day that it was a “significant milestone in the response to the devastating pandemic.” “We hope that the approval of the vaccine will begin with the end of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Peter Silage, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, Los Angeles, an advisor to ACIP.
Even COO Funna compared the day of packing the vaccine box to ‘D-Day’, the day of the Allied landing operation in Normandy in June 1944. “D-Day was a major turning point in World War II, “he said. “It was the beginning of an end.” He also said, “That’s where we are now.”
New confirmed, dead, hospitalized patient ‘worse’
The reason the United States urgently launched a vaccine was because President Donald Trump had a strong will. In the UK, which started the first vaccination, some side effects were noted, but they urged to speed up the introduction of the vaccine somehow. During the approval process, President Trump said via his Twitter: “Get the vaccine out right now” and said: “The director of the FDA should abandon the irresponsible attitude and save lives.” Director Han even made an unusual statement stating that the vaccine under review was “approved immediately.”
Health and Welfare Minister Alix Aza also told CNN that “the government has signed a contract to purchase vaccines for up to 3 billion doses from six pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Modena.”
The pandemic in the United States is so serious that the president himself comes out and becomes impatient. According to statistics from Johns Hopkins University, the number of new confirmed cases per day as of the 11th was 23.1775, a record. The death toll was 3309. According to the Corona 19 Tracking Project, the number of hospitalized Corona 19 patients across the United States was found to be 108,044. The three Corona 19 indicators for a day on the 11th showed the worst ever.
New York City, which was the epicenter of the first pandemic, decided to again ban indoor restaurant operations starting next week. On September 30, New York City made it possible to host guests in the range of 25% of the restaurant’s interior capacity, which became regular again in two and a half months.
The problem is the safety issue of going too tight. There is also an aspect that President Trump pushed and turned into a political issue. The AP and the University of Chicago Public Opinion Research Center (NORC) surveyed 1,117 adult men and women in the U.S. 3-7, showing that only 47% of respondents said they would receive the vaccine. 26% of those surveyed said they would not be correct.
However, an FDA director said, “There was no external pressure” and “this vaccine met strict FDA standards.” “I will get the vaccine,” he emphasized.
