 If approved soon, the coronavirus vaccine may roll out starting this month, says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He says the vaccine will most likely be administered to healthcare workers and at-risk Americans in the first round, but more will receive the vaccine in the following months. You know, that's what we mean by herd immunity. The protection of the whole group prevents the virus and it just dies away and dies down. Dr. Swani Jett, the health commissioner for Brookline Public Health, assisted with the rollout of the H1N1 vaccine in 2009. As a public health official today, he says that his job is to make sure the vaccine is distributed safely to as many Brookliners as possible so the public can enter a new way of life post coronavirus. Things won't return to the old normal, but there is a new normal and we have to be able to embrace that and move the country forward. The FDA is currently analyzing data for a vaccine from Cambridge's own Moderna in addition to Pfizer. The agency is expected to make a decision on the emergency use of Pfizer's vaccine this week.
