Shipments of Moderna Inc’s COVID-19 vaccine started leaving warehouses early on Sunday, heading for healthcare facilities around the USA in a push to disperse the second authorized coronavirus vaccine.
The distribution of Moderna’s vaccine to over 3,700 locations in the United States will vastly expand the rollout started a week by Pfizer Inc.. The U.S. government plans to deliver 5.9 million Moderna shots and two million Pfizer shots this week.
But an ambitious target to get 20 million Americans started with their first shot of this two-dose vaccine regimen prior to the end of the year could slide into the first week of January, U.S. Army General Gustave Perna told reporters on Saturday.
Moderna on Saturday moved vaccines from its manufacturing plants to warehouses operated by McKesson to be packaged into containers and loaded on trucks. Shipments will begin reaching healthcare providers when Monday, Perna said.
Vials of Moderna’s vaccine were filled in pharmaceutical services provider Catalent Inc’s center in Bloomington, Indiana. McKesson is sending doses from facilities in areas including Louisville, Kentucky, and Memphis, Tennessee – close to air hubs for United Parcel Service Inc and FedEx Corp..
The beginning of delivery for the Moderna vaccine will considerably expand accessibility to COVID-19 vaccines as U.S. deaths brought on by the respiratory disease reached over 310,000 last week in the 11 months since the earliest documented U.S. cases.
Some states are deciding to use Moderna’s shots for harder-to-reach rural areas because they can be kept for 30 days in standard-temperature refrigerators. Pfizer’s must be shipped and stored at -70 Celsius (-94 F) and may be held for just five days at standard refrigerator temperatures.
Initial doses were given to caregivers. Programs by pharmacies Walgreens and CVS to distribute the Pfizer vaccine to long-term care facilities are expected to begin on Monday.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will pick Sunday on who it will suggest to be next in line to receive COVID-19 vaccines. The inhabitants beneath closest consideration include essential workers, those over 65 and individuals with pre-existing problems.
