US starts Covid-19 vaccination campaign

Hospitals in the United States began unpacking frozen boxes of coronavirus vaccine on Monday, in a historic attempt to curb the disease that has killed nearly 300,000 people in the country.

Shortly after 9 a.m., the new Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was administered in Queens, the first known inoculation since the vaccine was authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) late last week.

ANUNCIO - APÓYANOS

Sandra Lindsay, a nurse and the director of patient services in the intensive care unit at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, was the first American to receive the vaccine — as a Black woman, she is among the demographic most disproportionately devastated by Covid-19.

Lindsay, who has treated patients throughout the pandemic, said that she hoped her public vaccination would give confidence that the shots were safe.

ANUNCIO - APÓYANOS

“I have seen the alternative, and do not want it for you,” she said. “I feel like healing is coming. I hope this marks the beginning of the end of a very painful time in our history.»

Meanwhile, President Trump also celebrated the act via Twitter.

First Vaccine Administered. Congratulations USA! Congratulations WORLD!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 14, 2020

A majority of the first injections given on Monday are expected to go to high-risk health care workers. Most Americans will not be able to receive the vaccine until 2021, but the roll-out beginning this week is seen as a key symbolic turning point in the nation’s battle against the pandemic.

ANUNCIO - APÓYANOS

In an interview with MSNBC, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, laid out a timeline for a return to normalcy that stretched well into 2021. He stressed that until then, social distancing and masks will remain crucial in the fight to stop the spread of the virus.
