NEWS on COVID-19 in Connecticut: When will Connecticut residents receive the COVID-19 vaccine? Here’s what we know now
“With the U.S. Food and Drug Administration potentially just days away from authorizing the first COVID-19 vaccine, some Connecticut residents could receive the first doses of a vaccine by mid-December.
Once a vaccine is authorized by the federal government, doses will be shipped to the states, which are in charge of actually distributing the vaccine to residents.
For the most part, states will make their own decisions about which groups of residents to vaccinate first, although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is issuing recommendations on the vaccination order.
That means that some Connecticut residents could be vaccinated within weeks, although most people will have to wait another six or seven months.”
“Independent advisers to the FDA will meet to discuss the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Dec. 10 and the Moderna vaccine on Dec. 17.
At those meetings, which will be public, the advisers will debate the vaccines and ultimately issue a recommendation on whether they should be authorized for use, according to The Associated Press.
In the days after each meeting, the FDA will then make a decision, based in part on those recommendations, and either issue or deny an emergency use authorization.
With this timeline, the Pfizer vaccine could receive authorization by early to mid-December and the Moderna vaccine by mid- to late December.
Notably, an emergency use authorization is not the same as full FDA approval. Emergency use authorization is a less robust process, designed to more quickly grant use of much-needed medicines and technologies.
Nearly all of the current COVID-19 treatments and tests are being used under emergency use authorization, not full FDA approval.”
