ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「President-elect Joe Biden plans to release nearly all available coronavirus vaccine doses “to ensure the Americans who need it most get it as soon as possible,” a sharp break from the Trump administration’s practice of holding back some of the vaccine, the Biden transition team said Friday. “He supports releasing available doses immediately, and believes the government should stop holding back vaccine supply so we can get more shots in Americans’ arms now,” T.J. Ducklo, a spokesman for the transition team, said, adding that they would share additional details next week. Because both of the vaccines that have emergency approval require two doses, the Trump administration has been holding back roughly half of its supply to ensure those already vaccinated receive the booster dose. But the vaccine rollout has been troubled from the start. As of Thursday, the Trump administration had shipped more than 21 million doses — yet only 5.9 million people had received them as state and local public health officials, already overwhelmed with rising infections, struggled to administer the vaccine. Releasing a vast majority of the vaccine doses goes against the recommendation of officials from the Food and Drug Administration — experts whose advice Biden has pledged to follow. But a transition official said the Defense Production Act would be used, if needed, to ensure that enough doses were available. Tap the link in our bio for the latest coronavirus updates.
