The United States is making progress in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. Cases are dropping to levels not seen since last fall. Hospitalizations and deaths are also falling.
Health experts say vaccines are largely to thank, as 40% of American adults are now fully vaccinated. But CDC guidance over mask wearing continues to confuse cities and state officials across the country, as well as some health experts. You are very well immune, and you no longer need masks in public,â said Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a Professor of Medicine at George Washington University. âYou can go into places without masks and it s time for the CDC to start embracing this kind of bifurcated strategy.
Moderna Vaccine Distribution Begins 1:51 am
A pivotal weekend for the second COVID-19 Vaccine approved for Emergency Use in the U.S. On Saturday, a top Official with Operation Warp Speed announced distribution for Moderna’s Vaccine is already underway. This all comes as the U.S. is dealing with another record-breaking COVID-19 surge.
Another step closer to ending the brutal Pandemic. The FDA has authorized Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine for Emergency Use in the U.S. as the Country reports a record number of new Coronavirus cases. On Saturday, the Army General in charge of COVID-19 Vaccine shipments announced distribution of Moderna’s Vaccine has already begun with USP and FedEx trucks rolling out starting Sunday. General Gustave Perna also took responsibility for miscommunication with States about how many Pfizer Vaccine doses would be initially available to them.
