Karnataka is well prepared for COVID-19 vaccine delivery, says K Sudhakar

Pfizer's 95 per cent efficacy rate was announced after 170 infections were accumulated.

Mr. Dominguez said the government estimates the average cost of a complete vaccine dose is around P1,200 each.

"We are working on yet another one", von der Leyen said Tuesday.

The news that Putin hasn't taken the vaccine yet came on the same day that Sputnik V's developers published new information about the vaccine, touting it as effective, cheap and easy to transport.

Regarding usage of animal husbandry department's facilities, the minister said that in order to have adequate capacity the cold storage facilities under Animal Husbandry Department are also being compiled.

Of the 170 cases of COVID-19, as specified in the Pfizer-BioNTech study protocol, 162 cases were observed in the placebo group versus 8 cases in those vaccinated-a 1:20 ratio. These newly proposed Regional Vaccine Stores will also require additional Walk-in-Coolers and Walk-in-Freezers to be supplied, Dr.Sudhakar added.

And Pfizer is just one candidate awaiting approval. Should I wait until I've given birth to receive the vaccine? "I would argue that's probably the biggest bottleneck that we have". The rich who can afford the vaccine and drug pushers "who destroy the country" would not qualify for free vaccination, the President said. "We will probably take whatever we are able to get access to". The landmark discussion brought together more than 350 logistics partners, including air freight operators, shipping lines and global logistics associations.

Moderna Chief Medical Officer Tal Zaks told Axios that the public should not "over-interpret" the vaccine trial results to assume life could go back to normal after adults are vaccinated.

He pointed out how the worldwide community must set a new standard for access, as "the urgency with which vaccines have been developed must be matched by the same urgency to distribute them fairly".

"We're doing this so that we can make the vaccine available to our employees on a voluntary basis", Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker said.

Although there is some concern that Pfizer's vaccines need to be stored at ultracold temperatures (-94 degrees F), Operation Warp Speed assured reporters that that pharmaceutical giant had developed a workable solution using dry ice.

"We live in a culture where we can swipe left or swipe right, but life doesn't always work like that", he said. "Our hats off to Dr Onyema Ogbuagbu at Yale who helped develop a COVID-19 vaccine!" the US Mission in Nigeria tweeted on its handle on Monday.
