Hospitals in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada have begun distribution of the first vaccines for COVID-19 created for large-scale use. The European Union plans to begin distribution by the end of December, and more vaccines will become available across the world in 2021.
Obviously, this is good news. The vaccine could save untold thousands of lives and could slow the spread of the pandemic that has altered life around the world. The creation of multiple vaccines by companies in many countries in such a short time is surely impressive from a scientific standpoint.
