Editors COVID-19 vaccines en route The first wave of Pfizer and BioNTech s COVID-19 vaccine doses left a manufacturing plant in Michigan on Sunday morning, kicking off the distribution process for a nation in dire need of relief from the virus. A small crowd cheered as semi-trucks transported insulated boxes full of the vaccine, which are set to arrive in every state by Monday. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said his hope is that the first inoculations take place Monday, with medical workers and long-term care facility residents first in line. Hours after the first vaccine doses hit the road, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention formally signed off on a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for Pfizer s vaccine to be used in people 16 and older. The CDC recommendation comes after the FDA s decision on Friday to grant emergency authorization for the vaccine.
