President-elect Joe Biden will seek to release nearly all available coronavirus (Chinese virus) vaccines to speed up vaccination, his transition team said Friday.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Trump administration’s current policy is to keep some inventory as a second dose. The CCV vaccine is not given once, but twice.
“The president-elect believes that we must accelerate the distribution of the vaccine while continuing to ensure that the Americans who need it most get it as soon as possible.” “Said TJ Ducklo, a spokesman for Mr. Biden’s transition team.
“He supports the immediate release of available doses and believes the government should stop blocking vaccine supplies so that we can get more Americans vaccinated now.” “Ducklow said.
Mr. Ducklow also said Mr. Biden would release other details about his vaccine distribution plan next week.
The United States and many other countries are trying to step up vaccination efforts.
Both Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc., according to federal data. With Biontech SE, more than 12 million doses of vaccine have been delivered, and as of January 1, 2.8 million people in the United States had been vaccinated.
Some medical authorities, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have said that delaying a second dose of the vaccine risks harming public health. But an official on Biden’s transition team said the president-elect was confident that manufacturers could produce enough vaccine to deliver a second dose in time, adding that Biden would use the Defense Production Act to increase supplies.
The epidemic in the United States has not eased. At least 274,703 new cases were confirmed in the United States on Thursday, according to Johns Hopkins University, and an additional 4,085 people died, another record for the number of deaths in a single day in the United States and the first time the number of deaths exceeded 4,000 in a single day.
