Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine Rolled Out In All 50 States!
The first vials of the coronavirus vaccine were shipped Sunday and arrived Monday in 50 states, marking the beginning of a massive effort to stop the rampant spread of the novel coronavirus, which has so far killed more than 298,000 Americans.
As we previously reported, Pfizer was authorized for emergency use in the US by the Food and Drug Administration on Friday night, setting in motion the largest vaccination effort in American history. According to The New York Post, shipments of the vaccine will be arriving in 145 distribution centers today.
Federal officials said that 425 additional sites will be getting shipments Tuesday, and the remaining 66 on Wednesday. President Donald Trump took to Twitter this Monday morning to react to the good news. He said: ”First Vaccine Administered. Congratulations USA! Congratulations WORLD!”
While first responders and the elderly are expected to be one of the first people to receive the vaccine, there was also some talk that employees in the White House should also get it first. However, Trump tweeted Sunday,
“People working in the White House should receive the vaccine somewhat later in the program, unless specifically necessary. I have asked that this adjustment be made. I am not scheduled to take the vaccine, but look forward to doing so at the appropriate time. Thank you!”
