NEWS on COVID-19 in Arkansas: Secretary of health says coronavirus vaccine could be in Arkansas in 1-2 weeks
“‘As it stands today, the vaccine will go before the FDA on the 10th of this month for EUA (emergency use authorization), this is not approval it's authorization,’ Arkansas Secretary of Health, Dr. Jose Romero said. ‘We believe that there will be distribution of vaccine within 24 to 48 hours after the FDA gives approval. That means we think we will have the vaccine in the state sometime at the end of next week or the very beginning of the week after that.’
Speaking to members of the state Health, Welfare and Labor Committee, Dr. Romero told legislators, once approved, health care workers in the state would receive the first of the anticipated 25,000 doses of the vaccine.
‘It includes housekeeping, the persons that keep that institution running, the person who delivers the food, anyone who's potentially exposed,’ said Dr. Romero.
After more than 200,000 health care workers in the state are vaccinated, Dr. Romero said vaccines would be administered to residents in assisted living facilities followed by essential workers, residents more than 65 years old and lastly, the general public.”
