Coronavirus vaccine update: 30,000 Americans roll up their sleeves for Moderna

Live Mint  

The biggest test yet of an experimental COVID-19 vaccine got underway Monday with the first of some 30,000 Americans rolling up their sleeves to receive shots created by the U.S. government as part of the all-out global race to stop the pandemic. Especially with family members in front-line jobs that could expose them to the virus, she added, “doing our part to eradicate it is very important to me.” It will be months before results trickle in, and there is no guarantee the vaccine will ultimately work against the scourge that has killed over 650,000 people around the world, including almost 150,000 in the U.S. “We’ve been sitting on the sidelines passively attempting to wear our masks and social distance and not go out when it’s not necessary. The White House said he has mild symptoms and “has been self-isolating and working from a secure location off site.” The move to restart the national pastime ran into trouble just five days into the long-delayed season: Two major league baseball games scheduled for Monday night were called off as the Miami Marlins coped with an outbreak — the Marlins’ home opener against the Baltimore Orioles, and the New York Yankees’ game in Philadelphia, where the Marlins used the clubhouse over the weekend. NIH is working to make sure that the study isn’t just filled with healthy, younger volunteers but includes populations hit hardest by COVID-19, including older adults, those in poor health and African-Americans and Latinos.
