People are now getting the COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S., but the limited doses are for health care workers. The average American still has to wait a few more months before getting treated.
As the general population awaits its turn to receive the vaccine, WCNC Charlotte has asked viewers what questions they have about the vaccines and have asked them to medical experts.
Vanessa Ruffes got some answers from Dr. Janny Soriano, a doctor at a hospital in South Carolina; Dr. Paul Offit, Director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and member of the FDA advisory panel that recommended the Pfizer vaccine for approval; and Patricia Stinchfield, President of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
QUESTION: When it’s time for the general population to get the vaccine, will it be on a first-come, first-served basis?
DR. SORIANO: North and South Carolina may have different vaccine distribution plans. We will need to stay updated from our healthcare authorities regarding when that will happen and how that will be done. #WakeUpCLT #COVID19 #Coronavirus
