There is a "light at the end of the tunnel" saysDr. Anthony FauciDirector of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Infectious Disease Experts of the Nation. With at least three coronavirus vaccines prove effective in testing, some will be distributed as soon as a few weeks; That day, Moderna, one of the manufacturers applies to the approval of an emergency FDA. And not a moment too early: cases-and deaths - are on the other side of the nation.

But who will have the vaccine first? Fauci appeared onMeet the pressWith Host Chuck Todd yesterday to delimit to whom he thinks get the Jab initially read and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Here who will get the vaccine first, says Dr. Fauci

Fuci had already saidMSNBCThis "when we arrive in December, we can have doses available for those judged at the highest priority." In another interview with PBS, Fauci revealed that these "higher priority groups" would be determined "according to the recommendation of the CDC".

SpeakCDCIn addition to age, there are a number of underlying medical conditions that would judge an adult of any age to be at an increased risk of serious disease of the virus that causes Covid-19. These include cancer, chronic kidney disease, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), cardiac diseases, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathies, immunocompromised state (immune system weakened) of the solid member graft, obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 30 kg / m2 or longer but <40 kg / m2), severe obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg / m2), pregnancy, illness From the sickle, smoking and diabetes of type 2 mellitus.

According toAp, a committee of experts advising the American disease and prevention control centers also plans to give high priority to workers in the essential industries.

"I think health care workers are going to be among those," said Dr. FaCi, when Todd said he presumed that they would be in pole position. "I do not know exactly what is the precise final decision. Certainly, health workers will be there. There may be others. I do not know. As you know Tuesday, the Advisory Committee on Practices of vaccination, Tuesday or Wednesday, sometimes at the beginning of next week, I will come to the CDC and make that kind of decisions, "he said." But if you look at the number of health workers, you will obviously have to do it in a ranked way. I mean, we do not have enough vaccines right now in the first, you know, in the last week or two or three of December to get everyone who needs it . And that's why, what's going on is that a certain amount of vaccine is shipped locally in the United States. And then the final decision of how to properly be left to United States with strong recommendations from the CDC. "

Mr. Fauci said that those of retirement homes should be prioritized

Todd then asked questions about specific groups of people. When people in a principal institution or a retirement home do the vaccine? "Once again, I do not want to go to the advisory committee, but I can tell you what will probably happen," said Fuci. "Certainly not definitive that the inhabitants of nursing houses will probably be very high in this facility. You know, if you look at the number of people who are in what is called the official care houses, about 1, 5 million people. If you look at people who are the staff, that staff, these official care homes, who represent about 1.5 million others. You probably have about 3 million people. I think you can Get them in a reasonably protected way, because of course they are very vulnerable. And then you go down the list of seniors with or without underlying conditions. And you get the different priorities. "

Children will probably be the last to be vaccinated

Todd then asked questions about children. There has not been a lot of vaccine tests on them. "It's going to be months" longer before children are vaccinated, "Todd said."And reason is traditionally when you have a situation like a new vaccine, you want to make sure that children, as well as pregnant women, are vulnerable. So, before putting it in children, you will want to do of course, You have a degree of efficiency and security that is established in an adult population, especially in the normal adult population. Then there are ways to get the vaccine against children maybe in January and Again - it's my estimate may not be exactly that you go ahead and do what is called a phase and a phase test twice in children. In other words, you Discover, is it safe in children? And this inducises the type of immune response comparable to this in adults, an immune response that you know, protect adults? And what you could do is that you can do a study - what is called a study bridging. You can say, okay, we now have comparable immunogenicity. We have comparable immunogenicity, namely the same type of immune response. We can get that quickly approved for children before going through one, you know, 30,000 people who can take a longer period. We will begin the process most likely in January to get it to children earlier, rather than later. "

How to survive the pandemic until the vaccine arrives

Healthy adults may be able to take the vaccine before April, predicts Fauci. Until then, "If you have a very good attention to public health measures, I think we can prevent the acceleration of this thrust we see," saysDr. Fauci. Thus do things "like wearing masks, uniformly; keep the distance; avoid the crowds in the gathering settings, especially inside; wash your hands frequently" and cross this pandemic at your healthiest, do not miss those35 places you are most likely to catch Covid.
