In the United States, a Pfizer vaccine delivery operation has begun under the name of the operation’Super Fast’. In our view, the vaccination is expected to start from the evening of today (14th).
In New York, correspondent Kim Jong-won reports.
Vaccines are ready for delivery at Pfizer’s factory in Michigan.
As it needs to be stored at a cryogenic temperature of -70 degrees Celsius, put the vaccine in a box and fill with dry ice.
The vaccine boxes packed in this way are stacked in containers, and the first truck finally leaves the factory.
Employees applaud.
Afterwards, the vaccine box was transferred to a courier company’s aircraft and departed to 600 designated locations across the country.

The operation of the first vaccine delivery jointly conducted by the private and public forces was Operation Warp Speed, which means’super-fast’, and the actual U.S. Army commander took over as a military operation.

Pfizer, which initially released 2.9 million vaccines today, plans to distribute a total of 20 million vaccines nationwide by the end of this year.
As the final administrative procedure for the actual vaccination of the vaccine, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the final use approval of the CDC are coming out today, vaccination is expected to begin this evening in our time in the US, the country with the most confirmed coronavirus.
U.S. health officials are predicting that the corona outbreak will normalize next summer if the vaccine is distributed as planned.
