The Biden administration’s COVID-19 response team is speeding up vaccination, saying that vaccinations must be extensively administered to prevent the spread of the mutant virus.

In particular, it is said that children who are not currently targeted will also start vaccination in late spring or early summer.

This is a report from Washington correspondent Taewook Kang.

More than 20 million people have been vaccinated once in the United States.

The number of people who were all beaten up to the second episode reached 4.2 million.

It took a month to inoculate 10 million people, but recently, the speed has increased to more than 20 million people in 10 days.

The White House response team believes that collective immunity through vaccines is the answer to prevent the spread of the mutant virus, a new variable in the COVID-19 outbreak.

CDC Director Rochelle Wallensky Center for Disease Control and Prevention stressed that doctors and health officials should treat each new case as a variant.

Two cases of South African mutation have been confirmed now, but they can spread enormously within a few months.

[로셸 왈렌스키 / 미국 질병통제예방센터(CDC) 국장 : 우리는 미국 내 변이 출현에 대해 계속 우려하고 있습니다. 변이가 출현할 때 이를 면밀히 모니터링하고 식별하기 위해 노력하고 있으며 감시와 추적 활동을 급속히 확대하고 있습니다.]

That’s why it is best to speed up vaccination to reach mass immunity.

Until population immunity is formed, 70-85% of the population must be vaccinated.

Because of this, it occupies a quarter, but children who have not yet been vaccinated are also a challenge.

[앤서니 파우치 / 미국 국립알레르기·전염병연구소 소장 : 식품의약국 지침을 보면 다행히도 늦봄이나 초여름쯤에는 아이들도 백신 접종을 받을 수 있을 것입니다.]

As President Biden said his goal is to open most schools around the end of April, it is expected that the vaccine will be distributed to children at the same time.
