Not unless they have a crystal ball or a Magic 8 ball.

That is great news! Americans can do anything when we put our best brains up to the challenge! Along with Pfizer, makes me proud. Capitalism works.

The best and sharpest minds from around the world have been working together to find a vaccine for this horrible virus.

When they roll them out to the general public, I just have three words to say:

SIGN

UP!!!

I wonder if this is a single shot or two-dose like the other. And I wonder if it requires the same type of refrigeration?

NO, just now heard GMA say it doesn't need sub zero temps to be viable.

Think we're rounding the corner, people ! I'm hopeful ! Debbie downers go away with your dire forecasts, shortages and hoarding. Find something else to dwell on and bring YOURSELF down .

Moderna said Monday its vaccine remains stable at 36 to 46 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of a standard home or medical refrigerator, for up to 30 days. It can be stored for up to six months at negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit. By comparison, Pfizer's vaccine requires a storage temperature of minus 94 degrees Fahrenheit.

It is two shots. It does not ave to be as cold as the Pfizer vaccine. IT can also be kept in the refrigerator for 30 days. The Pfizer vaccine can only be kept in the refrigerator for 5 days.

looks like our lives will evolve around getting the flu vaccine and Covid 19 vaccine every fall.

I am a go for the COVID vaccines! We are all at risk until we can be vaccinated. I have gotten flu vacs for years due to working with the public.This will simply add another to the list.

Be Well everyone!

@SharkE hardly complaining. Just stating a fact.

We might find these vaccines available in late spring.

No, I think it will be sooner then that. New administration coming in and they will fast track it I'm sure. Let's all be optimistic not pessimistic. Don't be content to sit in misery and bring others down around you. Nobody wants to be the t*rd in the punchbowl.

It is fast tracked right now. And if you are accusing me of being pessimistic, the spirit of my post was supposed to be optimistic. I think a spring roll out is indeed very good news.

What I don't understand is that people say that you don't have immunity from Covid if you had it because you can catch it again. If that is true than how can a vaccine work against it once and for all? The regular flu is around every year and one vaccine isn't enough against it either, must get a different shot yearly.
