4,400 Moderna Vaccine Doses Not Kept Cold Enough May Be Unusable
Tuesday, January 19, 2021
An ongoing investigation found the temperature problem is not something on the Maine CDC or state of Maine side, Dr. Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said.

Maine health officials discovered that a majority of Moderna vaccine shipments received across the state on Monday were not kept adequately cold during transport, meaning 4,400 doses may have to be thrown out.
Dr. Nirav Shah, director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, made the announcement during a sad and somber coronavirus briefing on Tuesday and said the problem extends to other states as well.

U.S. President-elect Joe Biden received his first dose of the Pfizer Inc COVID-19 vaccine on Monday at a hospital in Newark, Delaware, and he urged Americans to get the vaccine when it is available.
His wife, Dr. Jill Biden, received the vaccine as well.
Biden, 78, has repeatedly told reporters that he wished to get publicly vaccinated in order to inspire confidence in the inoculation. Experts told Yahoo News that the timing was chosen to enable Biden to receive the second dose which is supposed to be given three weeks later before the inauguration, where, even in its scaled-down form, he is bound to interact with hundreds.

As the star of the year Elvis Presley prepared for his breathlessly anticipated appearance on the highest-rated variety show of 1956, the United States was in the throes of a medical crisis. The Salk polio vaccine had been available for just over a year, creating hope for eradicating a virus that had haunted communities for decades. Despite scant government safety oversight, the vaccine had been embraced by much of the public as a long-awaited salvation. But one early batch of bad shots had sickened, paralyzed and killed children.
