Floridians will be among the participants in a pilot program that the Trump administration is launching only to verify a possible COVID-19 vaccine, but also how it would be distributed.
Florida Surgeon General Scott Rivkees revealed that Florida will enroll in Minnesota, California, North Dakota and the city of Philadelphia as a component of the pilot program.
Rivkees said he had few main points, but told hospital officials in a call to the convention that the main points “will come as vaccines become available.”
Congressional Quarterly Roll Call on Monday first reported the pilot program – the first step in the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed initiative, which aims to deliver 300 million doses of a safe, effective vaccine for COVID-19 by January 2021.
The plan, which has not yet been made public, has been shown through the 4 state fitness departments to participate in the pilot program.
The Florida Department of Health (DOH) also provided few details, and a spokesman told Congressional Quarterly that it planned to “meet with CDC officials to identify the details, but a schedule has been created for this assembly at this time.”
According to Congressional Quarterly, officials from the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Pentagon COVID-19 working group, and the White House plan to conduct visits to the 4 states and trials of Philadelphia vaccines to expand “model approaches.” for other states, it is based on the distribution of a vaccine once approved.
Scientists around the world are rushing to expand vaccines to curb the spread of COVID-19. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Tuesday’s approval of a vaccine, which would be the first specially designed for coronavirus.
Putin’s announcement has aroused almost skepticism.
Public fitness experts estimate that at least 70 percent of the population will need to be vaccinated for “collective immunity” and have pushed for a national strategy for the progression and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine.
They are concerned that the call will surpass the source and become a repetition of the same dispersed technique that has generated dysfunctional state-by-state criteria and the unproven distribution of non-public protective devices in the country’s 50 states.
An effective distribution plan comes with other uninsured people and convinces skeptics to be vaccinated with a vaccine.
Logistics, possible shortage of source chains, and patient follow-up criteria are among the problems the pilot distribution program focuses on, the Association of Immunization Administrators (AIM) said in a letter, noting that it has not been excluded from discussions with the CDC and the White House. .
“The company that delivers and administers this vaccine to all Americans who wish to do so will be the largest public fitness effort of our generation,” AIM said. “We seek the close coordination and cooperation between the federal, state, local and tribal government that will be needed to succeed.”
The National Governors Association (NGA) Best Practice Committee issued a memorandum on August 3 calling on states to prepare vaccine distribution plans.
“While a vaccine is not yet available, classes learned from the acquisition and distribution of COVID-19 diagnoses and treatments recommend that governors may need to begin addressing demanding mass distribution situations prior to their arrival,” NGA said. “Vaccination of the U.S. population opposing COVID-19 is likely to require the largest immunization crusade ever undertaken, and governors will play a key role in bringing together the leaders of their national public health, immunization, and emergency control systems to design and execute the operation.
