Corona vaccine will not initially be delivered to New York

Washington (dpa) – According to President Donald Trump, a corona vaccine, which is expected to be available soon, will initially not be delivered to the state of New York in the USA. The Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo does not trust the government in Washington and wants to examine the drug separately. “So we won’t deliver it to New York until we have approval,” said Trump.

The incumbent US president indirectly criticized Cuomo for his announcement a few weeks ago that an approved vaccine would be checked for safety by its own experts. Cuomo had justified this with concerns that Trump could use a fund for political purposes and distribute it prematurely to the population.

Most recently, the companies Biontech and Pfizer announced that their vaccine offered more than 90 percent protection against the Covid-19 disease. They want to provide 50 million vaccine doses this year and around 1.3 billion in 2021 – worldwide. Each person must be vaccinated twice with the vaccine.
