Meeting in an emergency session Sunday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention panel endorsed the first coronavirus vaccine authorized in the United States that doesn’t need to be kept frozen or be followed by a second shot. Clinical trial data showed it completely protected against hospitalization and death. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is expected to approve the panel’s action, making it an official CDC recommendation to health providers. The nation’s third authorized vaccine is expected to start shipping as early as Monday to sites already receiving the shots made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. |
