US expects to begin COVID-19 vaccinations in early December, official says
The United States hopes to begin a sweeping program of COVID-19 vaccinations in early December, the head of the government coronavirus vaccine effort says.
“Our plan is to be able to ship vaccines to the immunization sites within 24 hours of approval” by the US Food and Drug Administration, Moncef Slaoui tells CNN.
“So I expect maybe on Day Two of the approval, on the 11th or the 12th of December.”
FDA vaccine advisors reportedly will meet December 8 to 10 to discuss approving vaccines that Pfizer and Moderna say are at least 95 percent effective.
