In the United States, against the background of an information campaign on universal vaccination, there is a shortage of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. This is reported by Politico, citing sources.
30 million Americans have already received at least one dose of the vaccine; about 1.3 million injections of the vaccine are given in the country every day. However, the tools to distribute the drugs are limited, and authorities are wary of urging the entire population to get vaccinated without being able to provide vaccinations for everyone. Therefore, a significant part of the $ 1 billion allocated for the campaign is still “frozen”.
“We must make the product available before encouraging people to get it. We are not ready yet,” the publication quotes Mark Weber, a federal official in charge of the public campaign against COVID-19. Other Politico interlocutors point out that this is one of the most difficult challenges facing the American government.
According to The Hill, US President Joe Biden intends to use the stadiums provided by the National Football League for universal vaccination.
More than 40 percent of all vaccine doses are in the US and UK. As previously reported by the media, slow vaccination in poor countries will result in property damage for developed countries.
