Washington | Hospitals that have spent months seeking a silver bullet against a virus that has killed more than 295,000 people in the United States will begin receiving shipments of the first coronavirus vaccine on Monday, US officials said, comparing the start of distribution this weekend to the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
On Saturday the four-star Army general overseeing vaccine rollout delcared the modern day equivalent of D-Day after the Food and Drug Administration cleared the two-dose regimen developed by Pfizer and the German company BioNTech for emergency use.
