Thats part of the point of the study to understand if the vaccines are working well in adolescents. Pfizer and beyond tech requested emergency use from the fda. Someone needs to do it. This is our chance to contribute. Allison wont know if she got the real vaccine or the placebo. If i got the placebo then nothing changed. She thought volunteering was the responsible thing to do to help her peers. As teenagers are one of the most irresponsible people. A decision could come by mid december. Theres the capability to produce 50 million probably in 2020. We are hearing a lot of positive news about the vaccine that could be available in the coming months. Joining us is the former medical officer with health and human services. Pfizer applied for emergency use authorization. The fda Vaccine Committee meeting in december. Talk about the next steps in the process. Is there any chance pfizer doesnt get the green light. Good evening. Theres a process, theres always a chance. The purpose is to ensure that the data is as reported. That the safety and efficacy is as we expect it to be. Im certain with all the news and the eyes on pfizer that it will pan out and the fda has been ready and anticipated. The next step after the emergency use authorization is with the Cdc Advisory Committee wholl determine rapidly wholl get the vaccines first doses. We can look forward to a likely hoods of approval of emergency use. The first shots will go to high priority groups. That will include Health Care Workers. How is the decision made. What factors are they weighing. Just as you mentioned. They are weighing those folks most at risk in terms of exposure. Frontline Health Care Workers and First Responders are there. Most of us had to go in person, treat patients. Oftentimes those may not be elective and may not be screened. The hospital has urgent situations as well. Secondly, are those who are likely to get serious outcomes, the vulnerables. These are folks over the age of 65 and above, but with medical conditions so you can have a lower age in that with certain medical conditions. All of those factors will go into it. Theres a lot to talk about trying to reopen schools, how likely do you think that teachers and educators would be among the first to receive the vaccine . Thats a great question. Given the great discussions around the nation, the urgency to see the children back in schools from kindergarten into colleges, it may be something that the concerns of the teachers and teachers unions laid out, many will intersect with the vulnerable groups. Many teachers with added concerns are older or have medical conditions. It will include many of those leaving behind those wholl be more likely to get it later into 2021. All in all, when some portion of the pop lakers as it get population as it gets vaccination, theres less transmission because they can fight the virus even if its months or a year. That will be the next leg of understanding what these vaccines are doing. Even after folks are getting the vaccine we have to stick with the masks and social distancing. Absolutely. I want to urge folks tonight. As we hear the great news i hope it provides relief, while we are waiting first the approval of the distributions and the injections, we want to keep the surge under control and insure were not overwhelming the hospitals, the equipment and not putting people at harm.
