The country’s top epidemiologist, Dr. Anthony Fucci, came out to walk in the dark on Friday as the Food and Drug Administration approved Pfizer’s Govt-19 vaccine for emergency use. “Sorry if I didn’t breathe,” he said. “I am just happy to be free. I promise I will not have a heart attack. ”He’s been walking these days because his schedule has been so tight in recent weeks that it’s so bad he can’t run when he gets home. There has been particularly additional filtration to this day, primarily in anticipation that this vaccine will soon reach states across the country. Fassi has been working with other top health officials in the Trump administration for months to quickly find a vaccine and get the dose to the American people by the end of the year. As we spoke on Friday, Fossie and his colleagues were ready for the good news — the FDA will destroy the Pfizer vaccine for emergency use, which allowed FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service to begin producing the vaccine for export to leading health workers. (The FDA did exactly that an hour after I hung up the phone with Fossie). About 2.9 million doses of the vaccine will reach communities across the country as early as Monday morning. “My primary biggest fear is that a significant portion of the population will be reluctant to be vaccinated. I think there are going to be many who do not want to be vaccinated right away. ”- Dr. “I hope this process is going smoothly,” Fucci said with unwavering confidence. “I think. [It’s] It will be the beginning of an important era in how we attack this virus. Fassi said he had no reservations about the logistics behind the vaccine distribution program. Warp Speed, a public-private partnership to find the vaccine quickly, has a plan for several months to ensure that the first vaccine dose is delivered to the states, he said. But if people are not ready to get vaccinated, all plans made by the military to ensure the distribution process runs smoothly are not a bar, Foss said. “My primary biggest fear is that a significant portion of the population will be reluctant to get vaccinated,” Fassi said. “I think there’s going to be a lot of people who do not want to be vaccinated right away. But once you get it, tens of thousands of people have been vaccinated. It seems to work. It’s safe. The vaccine reluctance has been at the forefront of conversations among members of the virus task force, and in the summer call with the country’s governors, The Daily Beast received a copy of it, asking Fassi state leaders to begin talking publicly about the vaccine process and the iron-containing process in which the vaccine should go to the FDA for approval. The more officers began to send messages about security, the better, Fossie said, moving forward fast after almost four months, but that’s why Americans will not show up to get vaccinated? Fowzie says he is also concerned — even health workers are set to receive the first batch of measurements next week. There is evidence to support that fear. A hospital in Essex County, Massachusetts, fights high hospital admissions and community infection rates. According to an administrator at the hospital, one-third of those surveyed said they were comfortable getting the vaccine. “This is the reason why we need to make sure health workers get the right information,” Fucci said. “What is the reason for their reluctance? Do they think it went too fast? The fact that we were approved for the vaccine was certainly very fast. But speed has been associated with extraordinary scientific advances in platform technology from vaccines, which have allowed things to be done in months that had taken many years before. If you give them that information and explain it clearly to them, I think they will go along with the vaccination. If not, I think we’re going to be in a little trouble. “The problem is that if health workers’ piles choose not to be vaccinated, people may be reluctant to immunize the rest. It will only last as long as it takes the country to get back on track. “People without basic conditions or the elderly are not going to get it for months. This is the reality we have to face.” It’s turning the dynamics of this eruption, ”Fossie said. Fassi said he expects people coming out of the first priority layer, which includes health care workers and nursing home staff and residents, to start getting vaccinated by the end or beginning of March. In April. “People who don’t have the basic conditions or who aren’t going to get it for months are not going to get it. That’s the truth we have to face,” Fucci said. You get the chance. “Vaccinated, Fossie said, Americans still need to wear masks.” For the simple reason that we’re not going to have a broad public health effect until the majority of people are vaccinated, “he said.” I think we should not give up public health activities, and that’s why … you’m so less likely to get infected. ” He said he was going to spend. “At least 30 percent of my day is spent on podcasts, firesite chats, and interviews with talking people. About the importance of vaccinating people, ”Fassi said, adding that he had previously been told that the Department of Health and Human Services had talked about putting together a plan to address the problem. “It has to be me and a few others, including Jerome Adams. I do not know where it stands. But it’s a public relations, public news challenge, and we’re going to face it.”
