[국제]US CDC Advisory Committee recommends vaccinating Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (ACIP), an advisory body of CDC, recommended the use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine on the 12th local time.

The CDC Vaccination Advisory Committee held a meeting and voted on that day to recommend that Americans over the age of 16 receive the COVID-19 vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and Bioentech.

The Immunization Advisory Board’s vaccination recommendations are the steps that must be taken to ensure that the newly developed vaccine is given to real people.

If CDC Director Robert Redfield accepts and officially approves this recommendation, then from then on, the Americans can actually be vaccinated.

CNN reported that it is expected to approve the ACIP’s recommendations within a few hours.

Prior to this, another government agency, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and FDA, decided to approve the emergency use of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine on the 11th the previous day.

The CDC may decide whether to recommend the use of the vaccine after FDA has approved it for urgent use.

When the CDC finally approves Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, vaccination will begin on the 14th in the United States.

Army General Gustav Ferna, chief operating officer (COO) of the U.S. administration’s COVID-19 vaccine development program “Ultra-Rapid Operations,” says Pfizer’s Corona 19 vaccine will begin arriving at 145 delivery locations across the U.S. from the morning of Monday 14th. .

Accordingly, Reuters predicted that urgent vaccinations will begin as early as the 14th by region.
