When you can soon line up with one. We begin with mike tobin at pfizers factory up in michigan. Reporter we saw that historic first shipment leave here yesterday carrying doses of the vaccine. The followup today is more trucks, more boxes nilled with vaccine leaving the pfizer plant in michigan. Yesterday, 189 boxes left here. That works out to little more than 920,000 shots in the arm. Today, 400 boxes or 1. 9 million doses of vaccine ship from here. Within hours of the first shipment leaving here, ups landed its first plane with 38,000 doses of vaccine at its World Distribution facility in louisville, kentucky, where the doses are sorted. Planes and trucks take it from there. It is humbling, you know, being part of this vaccine process. Its going to take a lot of lives. Reporter three kentucky hospitals got 975 doses of vaccine each as the priority has been to get the vaccine to Health Care Workers. Dr. Jason smith got the First Vaccination in kentucky. The vaccine is going to 636 distribution points. Kits have already been sent out to administer the shots. That Moderna Vaccine is up for approval thursday, with the potential of delivering an additional 20 million doses by the end of the month. Dana, back to you. Dana thank you, mike tobin. We have Edward Lawrence live at Tampa General. Thats one of the first five hospitals in florida chosen to receive the vaccine. Hello, edward. Reporter hey, dana. Its the second person in the United States under operation warped speed to get the vaccine happened here at Tampa General hospital. Shes a nurse who works with Covid Patients in the Emergency Room when they come in. She said the hospital has no idea how many doses they would get here at the hospital. They ended up with 19,500, all of them going to those Front Line Team workers. Its the entire team. Its not just nurses and doctors. Its the entire team who are serving our who have the most Patient Touches with people who potentially could be infected with covid. Reporter and there will be doses left over. The hospital is saying those doses will be given to other hospitals in the Tampa Bay Area so their Front Line Workers can be vaccinated. The governor of florida saying so far this has gone smoothly. Today were sitting here introducing right now about 20,000 doses of the Pfizer Vaccine. The way i have described it to my team, this is 20,000 doses of hope. This is the beginning of the end. This is monumental. Reporter obviously, the head of the hospital here at Tampa General saying this is monumental. 920,000 doses, as mike tobin said, leaving that facility in michigan. Yesterday the First Vaccination under Operation Warp Speed happened in new york city. Governor cuomo, andrew cuomo, was there. He was the same governor who questioned the effectiveness months ago of the vaccine, saying he wanted his own people to look at it. But then again, it was right there. Is this any different from any other vaccine . Reporter you saw him there in the shot. Surgeon general today saying we need to get the herd immunity, 70 of the population vaccinated. He believes that will happen by july. If we dont get 75 vaccinated, the Surgeon General says the pandemic may not be over in 2021. Dana all right, Edward Lawrence, thank you very much. We have a fox news alert. New York University of health is giving their first coronavirus vaccine. Lets listen in. Some of the side effects, tiredness, headache, muscle pain, chills, fever and then swelling at the injection site, nausea. Now, most chance [ inaudible ] that could be Difficulty Breathing, swelling of the face, throat. Are you feeling sick today . No. In the last ten days have you had been to your Health Care Provider or Health Department . I had a test that was negativ negative. Have you been treated with Antibody Therapy for covid19 in the past 90 days . No. Have you ever had a serious or life threatening allergic reaction or Difficulty Breathing after any vaccine or shot . No. Have you had any vaccine in the past 14 days, including the flu shot . No. Are you pregnant or considering becoming pregnant . No. Do you have any conditions that weaken your Immune System . No. Do you think any medications such as cortisone, prednisone . No. Do you have any questions . Nope. Dana all right. Youve been watching a very historic moment. New york citys Langone Center is giving its first shot. I can see whats happening, as you are seeing it live there. The recipient answered a lot of questions about any allergies, any previous problems with shots. She answered no to all of those. So she will be getting first shot there. Then from there, everybody else in line will get it. Lets bring in the second person vaccinated in queens this morning and one of the first people in the country to receive the covid19 vaccine. Doctor, thank you very much for being with us. You made history today. Tell me what it felt like. Thank you. This is a very hopeful day. It felt fantastic. I was very honored and happy to be able to have this opportunity to role model the importance of this vaccination and how important it is going to be for us moving forward to get out of this tragic situation that were in. Dana no doubt youve been working around the clock for many months. We see a doctor about to administer the shot at langone. How important is it for doctors to say to patients, i got it and i was fine, in order to give patients confidence to take the vaccine . I think its critical. Its critical for us. Thats why i was so happy to role model this. Its important to stand behind the science and the research thats been done, and to tell our patients absolutely that this is nothing to fear. What we should fear is covid. Hopefully, theres hope thats coming out of this and that we can overcome all the struggles and everything weve endured with covid. Dana we see here the shot is about to be administered. I know you did this just a few hours ago. A momentous moment, especially at that hospital. Hospital workers, you form a close bond. Have you talked to any of your colleagues about what this day means Going Forward . Yes. Everyone is excited. This is kind of an uplifting moment that we all needed. Were still dealing with a second surge, so to speak, in new york, with covid. We needed this. We needed the Front Line Workers to see there was something at the end of the struggle and the challenges were facing now. Dana the shot was just administered to this front line worker there at langone. Looks like everything went smoothly. From what you understand, doctor, how soon might you feel a side, if at all, from the shot that you got this morning . I think the next 24 hours will be critical, in terms of the pain. What the research has shown and the folks theyve interviewed who got the medication during the Research Trial dana doctor, let me interrupt you there. This patient is taking some questions. Lets listen in together. That would be you on my lefthand side. Are you ready for questions . Yes. Now that you have the vaccine, what are you going to do once life gets back to normal . Thats a really hard question, i guess. I think its very exciting and i just hope that everybody gets it and, like everybody said, we all get back to normal. Next question, please. Next person, yes, go ahead. Hi. How will you recommend the vaccine to patients and families . I would have recommended it before i got it. It was nothing. Really felt like nothing. All right. You are a great nurse and do a great job in the icu. I know you. How do you feel like those who didnt make it because the shot wasnt here sooner . I think this is a very challenging time. Lots of patients and families went through a lot. So today its really exciting that we can move forward and hopefully patients and families can get it. Okay. Great. Go ahead. How does it feel to be protected against the virus you spent so long fighting . It feels good. Dana it seems you almost had similar experiences. Maybe a last question to you would be, from what you knew about Vaccine Development and all your education. We know it usually takes a long time. This was part of Operation Warp Speed. New technology was there. The president put this forward. Scientists worked so hard to make this happen. Now theyre being districted. Are you surprised at how quickly this was able to get done . No, not really. There has been Research Behind the mrna before. This may be a new way moving forward, in terms of creating vaccinations in which we dont need the yolk, the egg to create the vaccination. This is exciting from that standpoint that maybe in the future, we can deliver vaccinations more quickly and safely. Dana its an honor to get a chance to talk to you today. Thank you for the time. Dana you take care. Have a great day. Be safe. Dana thank you. Hes my new best friend. I love him. All right. Its not just hospitals. Major retailers and Drug Store Chains are getting ready for tk vaccine. We have a live look at that up in chicago. Were covering everywhere across america today. Hey, grady. Reporter dana, it could be several months before this vaccination is available to members of the general public. Once it is, getting it could be as simple as going to your walmart, cvs or walgreens. They will be among the first to receive the vaccination. They will first administer it to Health Care Workers and the elderly. Theyve partnered with Tens Of Thousand of longterm Nursing Homes across the country. They will administer it to them starting a week from today on december 21st. But after that, eventually the plan is that anybody who wants this vaccine will be able to get one at any one of these thousands of Pharmacy Chains across the country. The timeline how it will work is still uncertain, but we expect it in 2021. Cvs and walgreens are hiring Tens Of Thousands of employees to make this happen. In terms of who gets the vaccine, it wont be up to the Pharmacy Chains. They are all assuring they will have no say in that. We should also say this is san important part of the rollout because so many people live within close proximity of these Retail Locations and they all have experience in administering vaccines. Cvs, as an example, said it will administer 20 million vaccines this year for things like the flu. So this is something theyre very familiar with, dana. Dana all right. Thank you very much, grady, up there in chicago. And President Trump is congratulating all those involved in todays historic Covid Vaccine rollout. The shots given seven months after the president announced Operation Warp Speed. John roberts is on the north lawn, where we all find him. Reporter good afternoon to you. President trump cheering the first doses of vaccinations going into arms across america. The president tweeting, First Vaccination administered, congratulations usa, congratulations world. This really was done in record time, ten months from the sequencing of the viral rna to the first needles going into the arms of Front Line Workers across the United States. We were talking about that in the past hour. Lets listen in. This is remarkable progress. Its a medical miracle. As President Trump tweeted today, this would have been five years down the road, but we got it down by paring down red tape. This is a great day for america, something we can all celebrate together. Reporter the white house making some changes, too, from past history and past administration policy. The white house saying white house officials, including the president , will not be among the first in the anyways to receive the vaccine. The president pushing back on a statement that was given by sean elliott who said officials across all branches of government will receive vaccinations, established in executive policy. The American People should have confidence that they are receiving the same vaccine as senior officials of the United States on the advice of Public Health professionals and National Security leadership. Telling fox news in the past hour that this was actually a policy that was established under the last administration and one that they are going to change. Listen here. That Policy Directive was passed by president obama. We were putting that into place. What the president decided, look, Frontline Workers need to come first. Our residents in longterm care facilities need to come first. Reporter there are continuity of government issues at play, so certain Government Workers will be high up in the pyramid of vaccine distribution, if not at the very top. That would include critical staffers at the white house, people on capitol hill, as well as members of the supreme court. I am told that political appointees will not be included in that priority list. Now, when it comes to the white house, the president , his National Security adviser, his chief of staff, the Vice President s chief of staff, the press secretary, president s counsel and a number of others have already had coronavirus, so its likely it can herd some sort of immunity or resistance to the coronavirus among that group of people. Its highly likely that a lot of the top political appointments here at the white house are not requiring the coronavirus, at least not in the immediate future. Again, people critical to the operation of continuity of government will be high up in the food chain, in terms of getting it, but not immediately. Dana . Dana i think it all makes sense, quite sensible. Thank you, john. Lets bring in howie kurtz host of media buzz and a Fox News Media analyst. Its a historic day and indeed youre seeing this across the screen. All the media is covering this part. There is not a lot of credit being given to President Trump. How do you see the medias coverage of this moment . The media are a little warped when it comes to Operation Warp Speed, not choosing to give President Trump much credit at all for this program. Pfizer, moderna and the scientists receive credit. If the vaccines didnt work or took another year to roll them out, the press would have been very quick to blame donald trump. Most news organizations, now in polar aoeued atmosphere, dont want to give President Trump credit for anything. Dana obviously, theres a lot of big knew this week. Were also waiting to see about a Corona Relief bill for people who need it. Theres just so much swirling around. It feels like maybe the vaccine rises to the top because americans have been believers over this past year that this is a real day of hope. Yeah. Its impossible not to have a reaction that finally some people, especially, the Frontline Workers are getting it. President trump doesnt want to give the impression that big shots are getting it before Frontline Workers. Msnbc and cnn have been talking about the death tolls, approaching 300,000 deaths. Its a legitimate criticism. But then cover the white house vaccine summit, they didnt take any of it. Theres a Media Narrative here that president should have, could have moved more quickly at the beginning. I shared in some of that criticism. At least now we have some hope. He deserves some credit for the vaccine. Yet, i think the Vaccine Success kind of contradicts the Media Narrative. They are sticking to it. Dana yeah. I have to say if this had happened under the Previous Administration and within seven months after Operation Warp Speed, we had a vaccine, i think we could both understand what the Media Coverage would look like. Thats not to be in the case today, but anyway. He did order Operation Warp Speed and we are under way and things are Going Forward. I also understand governors want to get in on the coverage in their states, as we saw in new york. Dana everybody wants credit. How
