In the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in the US, many independent doctors offices say they've been left in the dark. According to Business Insider, they say they don't have access to COVID-19 vaccines. What's more, they've heard little from the federal or state governments about if or when they might receive doses. Independent primary care providers have been totally left out of distribution channels and have no line of sight for when they might receive a vaccine supply. Dr. Emily Maxson Chief Medical Officer, Aledade Sources say hospitals, large retail pharmacies, and federally-qualified health centers are the main distributors of the vaccine. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says nearly 9 million individuals in the US have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus. That's 11 million people less than the Trump administration's estimate of 20 million vaccinated Americans by the end of 2020.
Mexico City, Feb 18 (EFE).- Mexico has positioned itself as one of the countries exerting the most pressure on the United Nations to guarantee universal access to anti-Covid-19 vaccines, denouncing vaccine hoarding and/or monopolization by the richest nations and creating links with other Latin American nations like Argentina.(CAMERA: Cristina Sánchez)JUAN RAMON DE LA FUENTE, REPRESENTATIVE OF MEXICO TO THE UN."What Foreign Minister Ebrad said to the security council on behalf of Mexico, with the support of the community of Latin America and the Caribbean, was that the COVAX mechanism was insufficient.According to UN data, of the first 130 million vaccines administered three quarters were used in only 10 countries. The need to review and accelerate the mechanisms was discussed, those countries are entitled to advance in their vaccination program but other countries should be advance as well because if not, the strategy will not work."
Which county has administered the most coronavirus vaccine injections? More than 40 countries around the world have begun the vaccination process. According to Business Insider, rich and middle-income countries have secured almost all the available vaccine supply. According to data, the U.S. had administered roughly 1.94 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. Following behind the U.S. is China, which has administered at least 1 million COVID-19 vaccine doses. Across the world, there have been more than 4.3 million COVID-19 vaccine doses given.
14 (UPI) -- The incoming Biden administration's plan to release more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine won't cause supply shortages, Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of the newly created COVID-19 advisory board said Thursday. Two COVID-19 vaccines, made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, have been approved for use in the United States, and both require two doses for maximum effectiveness. Through Thursday, nearly 30 million doses of the two vaccines had been distributed across the country, but fewer than 11 million have been administered, based on estimates from the U.S.
According to recent Business Insider polling the typical American believes they will be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine within the next three months. The CDC recommends that the first round of vaccinations should go to frontline workers and people aged 75 and up. Each state is in charge of its vaccine distribution process. Experts predict the general public will be able to be vaccinated by summer 2021. That would be after high-priority groups such as healthcare professionals and essential workers get the shots.
On Wednesday, the US surpassed administering 1 million first doses of the coronavirus vaccine. The first wave of recipients includes Pres.-Elect Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Sen. Mitt Romney. Business Insider reports they were all vaccinated publicly to encourage others to do the same. Katalin Karikó, the scientist who developed mRNA vaccines, received her first dose of the coronavirus vaccine on December 21. Who are some of the other high-profile people to get vaccinated? Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Jim Clyburn, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Senators Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell.
