The United States ensures the supply of the coronavirus vaccine. Donald Trump, president of the United States, has announced that the Government has reached an agreement with Moderna to acquire one hundred million doses of the drug for 1.5 billion dollars. The agreement will materialize when the vaccine is approved.
Trump has indicated that “we are very close to that approval”. In this way, the United States would become the second country to register a vaccine against Covid-19, only behind Russia. Trump has noted that “we are investing in the development and manufacturing of the six leading candidates to ensure their rapid distribution and the Armed Forces are ready to deliver the vaccine to Americans as soon as the first one is fully approved.”
The president of the United States has expressed that, after the first purchase, 500 million more doses will be produced “soon after.” According to Trump, His Government’s efforts to obtain the vaccine are “the largest and most advanced operation of this type in the world and in history”.
Although Trump did not speak about the Russian vaccine, his Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar, did. The minister assured the network ABC that “the point is not to be first, it is to have a safe and effective vaccine for Americans and for people in the world” and asked Russia for “transparent data.”
