Benjamin hes executive director of the American PublicHealth Association joins me now live via skype from washington d. C. Good to have you with us on aljazeera sir i mean encouraging news for Many Americans are you hearing the right things from those in charge of its distribution sort of gives you the confidence that the u. S. Is able to distribute this vaccine quickly and effectively yeah absolutely you know many of us are working with the administration and both the outgoing and Incoming Administration to make sure that we can get the vaccine from the from the science into peoples arms always getting back to the nation and the army is always difficult but i believe this nation can do it its a huge logistical operation perhaps one that has many considerations if you think about sort of the worst affected states and link that of course obviously to the burn and the rural areas how do you think easy or difficult it is going to be to cater for those considering were talking about vast expanses of space. Yeah the United States is a big country and we have lots of rule communities and then even urban communities and which they dont have the capacity to deal with the ultra cold storage so the ultra quartz storage which really went makes this a much more difficult that seem to distribute and get into peoples arms but we know how to do it. You know this nation has. An amazing that same program and if you just deal with the technology of getting this cold vaccine into into communities then well be able to vaccinate all the people that want to have to be vaccinated indeed if we just talk about this particular vaccine its one which sort of gets the body ready i believe for any infection and one that will fight it i mean are we sure about how much immunity that a person would get from it all do we have to think over a period of time that more than one vaccine in a different form will be required as a preventative measure to secure immunity. I think what we do know is that this particular vaccine protect you from getting very sick and most people getting sick at all what we dont know yet even though studies are ongoing is how much it also protects you from transmitting your disease to other people and how long it lasts how long that protection last may be like a lot of that seems you know every 10 years you have to get a tetanus shot because the immunity wanes on that shot but we just dont know yet but we will over the im sure you like alex the Health Secretary will be closely watching the vaccination process knowing that in the United Kingdom to Health Workers with serious allergies. And that carried adrenalin pens suffered sort of nonlife threatening Adverse Reactions so theres a concern is that not all will be that this could be an issue as its administered to Health Care Workers who will be the top of the list to get this vaccine to start with you know one of the interesting things is that all of us clinicians know that there are people out there that are allergic to any medication even tylenol and see them in a fit so that people who have histories of strong allergic reactions to vaccines have been recommended to not get the vaccine yet at this time and of course to work with their doctors in the future to see whether or not that might be possible to be interesting to see what happens and how this is rolled out its been good to get your insights dr just see benjamin that thanks for joining us from washington d.
