The US, which started vaccination against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) from the 14th, has completed one million doses.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that it had received 1,088,025 doses of the vaccine nationwide as of 9 am on the 23rd (local time), CNN reported.
The amount of vaccine administered was only for Pfizer-Bioentech vaccines, which began vaccination on the 14th, and modders or vaccines that began vaccination on the 21st were not included in the statistics. The lack of modder or vaccines is due to the time it takes for local health authorities to aggregate and report the status of vaccinations to the CDC. In addition, the total amount of vaccines distributed by the US federal government to the state governments totaled 9.65,725 doses. The distribution included both Pfizer and modders and vaccines.
However, despite the speed of vaccine distribution and vaccination in the United States, it will take a considerable amount of time for the general public to obtain the vaccine to secure collective immunity. Dr. Vivek Mercy, who will be responsible for responding to Corona 19 in the next administration of Joe Biden, said in an NBC broadcast interview that next year, midsummer or early autumn is a realistic timetable for the public to begin vaccination.
In the United States, according to CDC guidelines, the vaccine is first administered to medical staff and long-term care facility workers. Next, it will be vaccinated to the general public after vaccinating workers in essential industries such as grocery store staff and teachers, the elderly over 75, and people with high-risk diseases.
