Anthony Fauci, director of the US National Institute of Allergic and Infectious Diseases, believes the United States can do without the coronavirus vaccine developed by the British-Swedish company AstraZeneca.
According to the chief American infectious disease specialist, there are enough other drugs in the country to prevent COVID-19, reports Reuters.
“This question is still in limbo. I have a general feeling that, given the contractual relationship that we have with a number of companies, we have enough vaccines to cover all our needs without the use of AstraZeneca ”, – quotes the publication of the words of Anthony Fauci.
We will remind, as the website kp.ru wrote, in mid-March it was reported that the United States could approve the use of this vaccine in a month, if American experts come to the conclusion that the drug is safe and effective. Today, Americans are vaccinated against COVID-19 with three vaccines from Pfizer and BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
