“This vaccine is almost 100% certain to prevent you or your loved one from becoming seriously ill,” Adams said. “This is how we end this epidemic.”
Officials have begun distributing the vaccine to health care workers and long-term care residents. But most Americans will not be vaccinated until 2021, when more doses can be produced and distributed. Adams said the U.S. Rs 20 crore by the end of December, 5 million by the end of January and 100 million by the end of February.

“It’s okay to have questions. It’s okay to ask questions,” he said. “What is not right is to let you make a decision because of misinformation or mistrust that will be bad for your health or the health of your family or the health of your community.”
5 health care workers in Alaska have adverse reactions
As the vaccines reach people, some have reported adverse reactions.
Two more health care workers in Providence Health Alaska have had adverse reactions to the coronavirus vaccine, a spokesman told CNN on Saturday. There have been a total of five reactions across the state.
His reactions were mild and non-threatening, Mickel Kenfield said.
The healthcare company noted that these four workers “represented less than 0.15% of the approximately 3,000 people who have been vaccinated so far at Advocate Aurora Health” and allowed for a “better understanding” of the cause of the reactions after the pause. However, vaccinations continued, in eight other locations across Illinois and Wisconsin.
The health care system said the program would resume on Sunday with a 30-minute extension in the post-vaccination assessment period.
Adams said allergic reactions to the coronavirus vaccine were “not uncommon or unexpected.”
“The system is working,” Adams said during a news conference hosted by Ohio Governor Mike Devine. “We are recognizing and capturing these very, very rare side effects.”

“It doesn’t matter how hard we try to bring patients better, stabilize them, and hopefully get patients home,” Yedder told CNN’s Paul Workman.
Yedeger added that patients at his hospital are “much sicker than the last four months.”
