According to The Wall Street Journal, the United States will begin using vaccines in December, with healthcare workers and the elderly potentially receiving priority over the general public. It is reported that the initial supply of COVID-19 vaccines, once approved, will be approximately 6.4 million doses, which will be provided free of charge to all Americans.
How will COVID-19 vaccines be approved? Who decides who gets vaccinated?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will decide whether to grant authorization for the use of COVID-19 vaccines; the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may receive FDA authorization in December. Governors of each U.S. state have the final say within their respective states regarding who will receive the vaccines first.
How will the vaccines be distributed?
Federal health officials state that any initial doses approved by the FDA will be shipped within 24 hours, and immunizations could begin within 48 hours. The federal government has also established partnerships with national pharmacy chains CVS and Walgreens to vaccinate residents and staff at long-term care facilities.
How many doses will be available?
The initial expected supply available immediately upon authorization is approximately 6.4 million doses. Federal officials estimate that there will be enough doses in December to vaccinate 20 million Americans. Starting in January 2021, approximately 25 to 30 million people can be vaccinated each month.
Who will receive the first batch of vaccines?
The first batches of vaccines will likely go to medical personnel or essential workers, nursing home residents, the elderly, and potential populations at high risk. Which category within these groups receives the vaccine first will depend in part on the specific vaccine, as well as data regarding different age groups or health conditions.
When will the public be able to get vaccinated?
Starting in the second quarter of 2021, there may be enough vaccines for anyone who wants to be vaccinated. The timeline may change if the vaccine manufacturing process does not proceed as planned.
How will vaccines be allocated to U.S. states?
For the first batches of vaccines, the federal government plans to distribute them proportionally to states based on the size of the adult population.
Will everyone receive the same dosage, regardless of age or ethnicity?
Yes.
How many people in the United States need to be vaccinated to suppress the spread of the novel coronavirus?
Based on the approximate 95% efficacy of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, herd immunity may be achieved if 70% of the population is vaccinated.
How will the public get vaccinated when vaccines are widely available?
After vaccinating priority groups, the government has established partnerships with approximately 60% of U.S. pharmacies to help a wider population get vaccinated. Under state and federal programs, manufacturers will ship vaccines to distributors, as well as hospitals, pharmacies, nursing homes, and other locations. The public will be able to access COVID-19 vaccines as easily as visiting a pharmacy.
How many doses does an individual need?
The Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca PLC vaccines are administered in two doses, three to four weeks apart. State officials plan to remind the public to receive their second dose. Johnson & Johnson is attempting to develop a single-dose vaccine, but the company has not yet reported its efficacy.
As everyone knows, the United States has a sound social welfare and medical security system, and its medical technology is quite advanced; the announcement of this COVID-19 vaccination process is undoubtedly a major breakthrough.
In recent years, the United States has attracted many people due to its various advantages. Among them, U.S. EB-5 investment immigration is an excellent pathway, with flexible application requirements, no language requirements, and no residential requirements (immigration prison). Most importantly, one application allows the whole family to immigrate, enjoying the generous welfare of the United States, while children benefit from world-class education.
Currently, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) continues to accept and adjudicate immigration applications as usual. You should promptly assess your situation and secure high-quality projects early—"Prepare early, apply early, line up early, and benefit early!"
For those intending to immigrate to the United States, the Yellowstone Club Phase II project, which is highly favored by investors, is an excellent choice to help investors successfully immigrate to the U.S. As one of the few EB-5 projects on the market that complies with the new regulation's $900,000 low-cost immigration requirement, this project combines many outstanding advantages such as dual approval by immigration authorities, over-fulfillment of job creation, repayment secured by assets valued at five times the loan, and transparent capital oversight, significantly safeguarding the interests of investors.
