As more than two people were dying in the United States
every minute from COVID-19, the Food and Drug Administration’s advisory panel voted on Thursday to recommend approval of the first vaccine for emergency use in people 16 and older.
Now, the first 2.9 million doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine are making their way across the country, with the same number held in reserve for the booster twenty-one days later and another half million banked for unexpected needs.
The first doses are expected to go to the nation’s 21 million healthcare workers and 3 million residents of long-term care facilities, while vaccines-on-demand at local pharmacies are bull’s-eyed for April at the earliest.
