The National Plan to Vaccinate Every American
By Barbara Loe Fisher
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health are working with a
biotech company to quickly start clinical trials of an experimental
messenger RNA vaccine and fast track it to licensure.
The FDA has not yet licensed messenger RNA vaccines that use part of
the RNA of a virus to manipulate the body's immune system into
stimulating a potent immune response. It looks like the coronavirus
vaccine will be the first genetically engineered messenger
RNA vaccine to be fast tracked to licensure, just like Gardasil was the
first genetically engineered virus-like particle vaccine to be fast
tracked to licensure.
There likely will be lots of questions about whether the fast tracked
coronavirus vaccine was studied long
enough to adequately demonstrate safety, especially for people who have trouble resolving strong inflammatory responses in their bodies and may be at greater risk for vaccine reactions. However, there is no question about what will happen if the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that all Americans get the newly licensed coronavirus vaccine.
The government has a National Vaccine Plan. It is a Plan designed to
make sure you, your child and everyone in America gets every dose of
every vaccine that government officials recommend
now and in the future.
