Once a COVID-19 vaccine arrives, how might it be distributed? On "What Is Even Happening?" — our new video series attempting to untangle questions in the news — @MrJDWalsh spoke with vaccine expert @PeterHotez about what a rollout might look like
"I think you'll start seeing some vaccine released to selected populations by the early part of next year" if one is proven safe and effective, says @PeterHotez. A more significant release of vaccine to the general public could come in the second or third quarter of 2021.
Because some early vaccines will need to be kept frozen at -70 degrees Celsius, @PeterHotez says that "you're probably going to have to go through specially centers, and exactly how they're going to set that up and what the logistics are remain to be determined."
"By the time these vaccines really start ramping up to the general population, it's going to be after the January 20 inauguration, and how those vaccines are released may very well depend on who's in the White House and decisions that are made at that level," says @PeterHotez.
