Welfare Minister “A modern and approved pandemic will bring a quicker end”
Distribution of 7.9 million doses of two vaccines next week … Modena expects the first dose on day 21
Problems with side effects and key to overcoming mistrust in vaccines … “FDA is investigating 5 allergic reactions”
The United States became the first country to purchase two types of vaccines, as the United States granted emergency use approval for the new Modena coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine after Pfizer on the 18th (local time). ).
Pfizer’s vaccination started on the 14th and Modena is expected to start responding to the crown as early as the 21st.
The Washington Post (WP) said it is paying attention to whether it can become a “turning point” in the war against the pandemic.
The scientific community also claims to be a “breakthrough achievement” for the development of two vaccines in less than a year after the coronavirus outbreak.
However, some side effects, such as mistrust of the vaccine, which developed over a very short period of time, and allergic reactions after vaccination, are noted as challenges to overcome.
◇ From Pfizer to Modena, the paired vaccine … “Revolutionary”
Following the US pharmaceutical company Pfizer-Bioentech, the Modena vaccine was approved for emergency use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the US has secured two corona vaccines19.
It is the first time in the United States that the Modena vaccine has been approved by health authorities.
In addition, the United States has become the country that has secured two corona 19 vaccines ahead of time in the world.
“It is unusual for two vaccines to be approved and distributed within a year after the release of the new virus,” said Alix Aza, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the FDA’s main agency. “The ‘high-speed operation’ public-private partnership is a start-up, Modenaga Corona 19.” It helped me become one of the two FDA-approved vaccines. “
‘High Speed Operation’ is the team that oversees the development of vaccines for the US government.
Unlike Pfizer vaccines developed independently by private companies, the Modena vaccine was developed and clinically tested by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
“The approval of the Modena vaccine could accelerate vaccination for front-line healthcare workers and Americans in long-term care facilities and ultimately lead to a faster end to this pandemic,” said Aza. . I mean, “he emphasized.
NIH Director Frances Collins also commented, “Getting not one but two safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines is a truly remarkable scientific achievement and a significant step toward ending the pandemic that has caused so much pain.”
The New York Times (NYT) in the United States evaluated it as “a revolutionary event triggered by urgent national needs after record levels of deaths, hospitalized patients and economic losses in the United States.”
◇ Vaccination against Modena is expected to start on day 21.
The US, with the highest number of corona 19 confirmed and dead, is expected to accelerate its quarantine strategy through vaccines.
This is because Pfizer-Bioentech vaccines, which have already been inoculated, and modders and vaccines are added to the supply, allowing more vaccines to be secured.
Aza said on the 17th that 5.9 million doses of the modder vaccine have been assigned to each state and are ready to ship nationwide over the weekend.
The Modena vaccine is expected to ship on day 20, begin administration on the 21st, and begin vaccination the same day, NYT reported.
Also, modders and vaccines are expected to hit three blind spots, such as Palau, where Pfizer’s vaccines could not be reached.
In particular, unlike Pfizer, the delivery of modders or vaccines will be sped up in the sense that they are subject to federal government management in accordance with an “ultra-fast operation,” the NYT predicted.
The United States plans to distribute 2 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine to this Modena vaccine and distribute 7.9 million doses of the vaccine during the following week to major states, provinces and cities across the country.
◇ The key to the future … Be on the lookout for allergic reactions, etc.
Unlike Pfizer vaccines that must be distributed and stored in a cryogenic environment of -75 degrees Celsius, Modena vaccines can be stored for up to 6 months at -20 degrees Celsius, which is normal freezer temperature.
This greatly reduces the distribution and transportation burden.
Both the Pfizer and Modena vaccines require two doses to achieve complete immunity.
However, FDA approval for emergency use only allows distribution of the vaccine, and additional approval is required from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To inject an injection into the arm of a real person.
The CDC Advisory Committee for the Advisory Committee on Immunizations (ACIP), made up of independent experts, recommends vaccinating Americans and will be available upon approval by the CDC director.
ACIP will hold a meeting on the 19th to review modders or vaccines for this purpose.
The US media is noting that the new ACIP will recommend the new ACIP over the weekend and the CDC will approve it, unless there are major issues.
Anthony Pouch, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which oversees the development of the COVID-19 vaccine, said: “It is my wish that all Americans protect themselves by vaccinating them when they can receive the vaccine.” “How to start moving forward.”
However, since the start of Pfizer’s vaccination on the 14th, allergic reactions have been reported one after another, so the US authorities are watching closely.
According to the Washington Post (WP), the FDA said on the 18th that it is currently investigating “about five” reports of allergic reactions.
This could be a challenge for public health professionals to build public trust in vaccines, the WG noted.
