The departments of Well being and Human Providers and Protection are holding a joint briefing Wednesday on the Trump administration’s Covid-19 vaccine program Operation Warp Pace as states put together to distribute doses.
The briefing comes a day after a Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention panel voted 13-1 to present health-care employees and long-term care facility residents the primary coronavirus vaccine doses as soon as it is cleared for public use. The Meals and Drug Administration has scheduled a gathering for Dec. 10 to debate Pfizer’s request for an emergency use authorization for its vaccine with BioNTech.
Earlier Wednesday, the U.Ok. turned the primary nation to authorize the Pfizer vaccine for emergency use, marking one other step within the world battle towards the pandemic.
