Just a week after the announcement by the American pharmaceutical company Pfizer, another pharmaceutical company, Moderna, announced that it had developed a vaccine that is more prophylactic than the Pfizer vaccine.
It is said that it can be distributed as a refrigerator without having to store it at -70 degrees centigrade like Pfizer.
First, it revealed a plan to inoculate 10 million high-risk groups this year.
First, reports correspondent Yeo Hong-gyu in Washington.

Approximately 30,000 people participated in the Phase 3 clinical trial of the Modena vaccine.
Ninety-five of the participants received Corona 19, but only 5 people received it even after receiving the vaccine, and the remaining 90 were people who took fake drugs.
Pfizer, which previously announced the clinical results, said the prevention effect was more than 90%, but Modena said it was 94.5%.
The preventive effect is similar, but the strength of the modders or vaccines is that they are easy to store.
Pfizer vaccine can be stored for up to 6 months only when kept at a cryogenic temperature of 70 degrees, but the modder or vaccine can be stored at -20 degrees Celsius, which means the freezer temperature of a normal refrigerator.
Additionally, Pfizer vaccines can be stored for up to 5 days in a refrigerator, but modders and vaccines can be stored for up to 30 days.

After approval for emergency use by the FDA, we plan to serve 10 million people in the United States by the end of this year.
High-risk groups, such as medical personnel and the elderly, are expected to be vaccinated first, and spread to the public will be possible starting next spring.

Prudence also occurred to some people.
The World Health Organization, WHO, said it should be monitored for side effects for two months, and the New York Times noted that no specific information was available for evaluation by outside experts.
President Trump bragged about the news of the Modena announcement as a result of his tenure.
On the other hand, President-elect Biden targeted President Trump.
He warned that failure to cooperate with the acquisition could disrupt vaccine supplies and kill more people.

Anticipation of vaccine development led the Dow to nearly 30,000 on the New York Stock Exchange, reaching a record high.
