The first vaccination is imminent in the US, with the highest number of COVID-19 infections and deaths in the world. The big vaccine delivery operation has started and the first vaccination is expected to start on 14 local time. Kim Hyeong-geun on the sidewalk. Pfizer’s factory in Calama, Michigan, USA, is in full swing with vaccine packaging prior to delivery. The US government says the Pfizer vaccine, which will be used for the first vaccination, will arrive at 145 delivery locations on 14 local time. Vaccines reach 425 sites on the 15th and 66 sites on the 16th. Freight forwarders like UPS and FedEx are used for ground delivery. Because Pfizer vaccine requires cryogenic storage at -70 degrees Celsius, dry ice and special containers are mobilized during transport. The first vaccination targets are workers in medical institutions and residents and employees of long-term care facilities. Depending on the region, vaccination is expected to start on day 14. Next are expected to be the elderly, people with underlying illnesses, and education workers. Young people or those without an underlying disease are expected to be able to receive the vaccine in late March or early April. Experts hope that even if vaccination begins, the spread of Corona 19 will not stop immediately. This is because 70-80% of the population needs to be vaccinated to reach the status of “population immunity”. Consequently, it is expected that in the United States we will continue to wear masks and maintain social distancing for more than half a year. This is YTN Kim Hyung-geun.
