One week after people in the United States started receiving the Pfizer vaccine, the Moderna vaccine also began to rollout. The New York Times reports:
Roughly six million doses of the newly authorized Moderna vaccine are being shipped to more than 3,700 locations around the country this week, adding to the nearly three million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that were dispatched mostly to health care workers starting last week. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 614,117 doses had been administered as of Monday morning.
Bloomberg is tracking where the vaccines are ending up in the U.S. and also globally.
We are also learning who may be in line to get the vaccine next. NPR reports:
People who are ages 75 and older or frontline essential workers should be next in line to get a COVID-19 vaccine, a federal advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention determined Sunday.
Those groups follow frontline health care workers and nursing home residents, who have already begun receiving the limited supplies of vaccines available.
