The first vaccination took place in New York, the largest spread last spring.

Are you a black nurse?

If it is.

The time here is now after 4 pm.

The first vaccine was given around 9:30 am, about 6 hours ago.

The main character is Sandra Lindsay, a nurse in the intensive care unit at Zooey City Hospital in Queens, New York.

The Pfizer-Bioentech vaccine was broadcast live on television.

After the vaccination, Nurse Lindsay said, “Today I feel hope and relief and I hope this is the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our country.”

He added: “I want to instill the belief that vaccines are safe for the public.”

President Trump is in a hurry and lobbying for vaccine development and approval.

Did you have a reaction?

[기자]

The start of COVID-19 vaccination in the United States took place three days after the Food and Drug Administration and FDA approved emergency use on the night of the 11th.

After this rush, pressure from President Trump also played a role.

President Trump tweeted welcoming the start of vaccination.

I wrote to you shortly that congratulations to the United States and the world because the first vaccine was administered.

[앵커]

First of all, most of the starting amounts are for medical workers.

When can the public be vaccinated?

[기자]

The vaccine volume, which can be administered 2.9 million times, is distributed in 636 sites over three days.

Since initial supply is limited and the approval stage for emergency use, medical workers, such as doctors and nurses, and high-risk groups, such as residents of long-term care facilities, are the priority targets.

Vaccination for the general public is expected to be available around February next year.

Health and Welfare Minister Alix Aza appeared on NBC and said with testimony that he wished to see the light at the end of the terrible pandemic tunnel.

After Pfizer, the Modena vaccine is scheduled to launch, and it is said that 100 million doses can be administered by the end of February.

He also explained that if the Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines were approved in January, they could receive a significant additional supply.

In this sense, the executive director of Pfizer, Albert Bulla, presented that the United States government is in negotiations and said that it requests 100 million additional doses.
