'The End Is In Sight': Louisiana Health Official Hopeful About Vaccine Distribution Enlarge this image toggle caption Victoria Jones/Pool/Getty Images Victoria Jones/Pool/Getty Images The Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize the use of the first COVID-19 vaccine in the U.S. as early as this week. When it does, Louisiana stands ready, says Dr. Joseph Kanter, interim assistant secretary of the Louisiana Health Department's Office of Public Health. Louisiana, following guidance by a CDC advisory panel, will first give the vaccine to health care workers and residents and staff of long-term care facilities. Dummy vaccine, end to end, temperature monitoring – a couple snags here and there, but by and large the packages arrived when they were supposed to, people were ready to accept them, ready to administer and we felt confident that when it comes — and we don't know the exact date — but when it does come, we'll be ready and I do think most every other state will be ready as well.
