[국제]”Reproliferation in mid-March US”…Biden government 50 million doses

[앵커]

In the United States, the spread of mutations could be reenacted in mid-March, warned White House advisor Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

The Joe Biden administration reported 50 million doses of vaccine in 37 days of inauguration.

Osterholm warns several times about the re-proliferation of the mutant virus.

It was predicted that the spread of Corona 19 could be reenacted in mid-March.

We’re seeing the variation from the UK doubling every ten days.

He said he was worried about the third week of March, considering the time the mutations spread.

They argued that the second shot should be delayed and the first shot should be expanded to provide a vaccine barrier to more people.

The spread of vaccines in the United States has stagnated due to the weather last week and is reviving.

Vaccinations have been made in 66 million doses so far.

In less than 40 days after President Biden took office, 50 million shots were given.

The 100-day target of 100 million doses given at the time of inauguration is expected to be achieved sooner considering speed.

In particular, when Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine is approved for emergency use, the vaccination is expected to expand further.

This is because it can speed up the vaccination as much as it takes only once.

According to the warnings of health experts, the corona19 situation in the United States is at peak next month.

Expanding the spread of vaccines, spreading mutations, and which one will speed up the fight seems to be the key to the fight.
