| Optimism around two promising coronavirus vaccines is quickly shifting to concerns that there won’t initially be enough doses for everyone, and distributing them nationwide will be a massive undertaking. The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, which represents state public health officials, told Congress last month that states need $8.4 billion for vaccine distribution — funds they currently don’t have. Despite those challenges, there is some near-term hope for the most vulnerable Americans, who could start receiving the vaccine next month, assuming it is authorized by the Food and Drug Administration by then. |
