Coronavirus vaccine
- Moderna reported some promising news about its coronavirus vaccine, which is one of the two, along with the vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech, which received emergency use authorization in the United States – and more vaccines will be launched soon.
- The biotechnology company says its coronavirus vaccine should provide the recipient with immunity to COVID-19 for at least one year.
- This is because the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. is now around 23 million since the start of the pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins University. There were also more than 377,000 deaths in the United States from COVID-19.
Good news has been such a rare thing during the coronavirus pandemic that it continues to kill a staggering number of Americans every day – while the United States, unfortunately, continues to administer doses of vaccines at a snail’s pace.
About 9 million doses of coronavirus vaccine or more have been administered in the United States so far since December 14, depending on whether you’re looking at CDC data or Bloomberg’s vaccine tracker (which points to almost 9 ,3 millions). This is still less than half the number of people who originally were supposed to be vaccinated by the end of 2020. In the meantime, the US is seeing at least 3,223 coronavirus-related deaths every day, along with at least 248,650 new cases of coronavirus, from according to a seven-day average of Johns Hopkins data calculated by CNBC. At least Moderna, fortunately, has just announced some fantastic news about its coronavirus vaccine.

Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine was the second of two that have now received emergency use authorization in the United States, where the latest Johns Hopkins data shows that nearly 23 million cases and more than 377,000 deaths have been reported since the beginning of the pandemic.
The good news for Moderna is that its vaccine must provide immunity to the COVID-19 virus for at least a year, the biotechnology company said this week, according to Reuters.
Better still, the company says it should deliver at least 600 million and up to 1 billion doses of its vaccine this year, with the United States having already purchased 200 million doses from the company. The United Kingdom, as well as the EU’s European Medicines Agency, also approved the Modern coronavirus vaccine in recent days, and the company has also signed distribution agreements with other countries such as Japan, Israel and Canada.
Soumya Swaminathan, chief scientist at the World Health Organization, warned on Monday that collective immunity – the phenomenon in which enough people have natural or vaccine-generated immunity to a virus that the pandemic comes to an end – probably will not will be achieved in 2021 However, the continued launch of coronavirus vaccines like that of Moderna is what will accelerate us to reach this point, with Swaminathan also appearing to recognize that collective immunity could be achieved this year in at least “some pockets” worldwide.
