The head of the United States coronavirus vaccine programme expressed an optimistic outlook for the largest inoculation drive in the country’s history on Monday, as the first doses of a vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech were shipped across the country.
Dr Moncef Slaoui, head of the White House’s Operation Warp Speed, said 100 million people could be immunised by the end of the first quarter of 2021 after Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine was given emergency use authorisation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday.
On Sunday, the first doses of the vaccine were trucked from a factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with some loaded onto cargo planes to be delivered to sites in every US state.
