The Trump administration has now interestingly urged the States to prepare themselves for distributing a potential coronavirus vaccine by November 1. Previously there were many claims by President Trump about releasing a vaccine before the Presidential elections which is scheduled for November 3.

Wholesaler McKesson Corp. a Dallas-based company will be requesting permits to set up centres for distributing the vaccine, when it becomes available. "The normal time required to obtain these permits presents a significant barrier to the success of this urgent public health program," said the Director of Centres of Disease Control and Prevention, Robert Redfield.

"CDC urgently requests your assistance in expediting applications for these distribution facilities."

At present there are three main drug makers who are partnering with the States. They are, AstraZeneca which is partnering with the Oxford University in England, Moderna with the US National Institutes of Health, and the Pfizer/BioNTech alliance. Among them, one is expected to succeed at the earliest. Further, the New York Times reported that priority will be given to the essential workers, seniors and members of the vulnerable groups, and national security officials.

However, criticism has sparked greatly. Laurie Garett, award winning epidemiology writer wrote, "This means mass vaccination nationwide could start in 59 days. FIFTY-NINE DAYS. Is any #COVID19 #vaccine likely to have completed Phase 3 safety and efficacy clinical trials, and gone through full scientific and @US_FDA review in 59 days?"

"To my knowledge, none of the US #COVID19 #vaccines have finished even enrolling test subjects for Phase 3 trials. Rushing this to completion within 59 days is DANGEROUS."

However, top Scientist Anthony Fauci said, "I believe that by the time we get to the end of this calendar year that we will feel comfortable that we do have a safe and effective vaccine."
