Coronavirus Vaccines Could Launch November 1st

According to McClatchy reporting on September 2, 2020, ‘the U.S. Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are rapidly making preparations to implement the large-scale distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in the Fall of 2020.’

A letter from the CDC’s Director Robert Redfield told the governors of the US states on August 27, 2020: "This vaccine distribution is expected to be a public health effort of significant scale, potentially involving hundreds of millions of vaccine doses to be distributed across the U.S. The CDC urgently requests your assistance in expediting applications for these distribution facilities.”

Dr. Redfield continued: “and, if necessary, asks that you consider waiving requirements that would prevent these facilities from becoming fully operational by November 1, 2020.”
