U.K. administers first Covid-19 vaccine to 90-year-old grandma

 Dear Folks,

How have you been so far?

Welcome back to my blog post here on the Lylymom blog!

For this blog post topic, I want to talk about Covid-19 vaccine. Talking about the vaccine, I think that it is very great news that people will get the vaccine soon. What i'm concern here is how the affect of the vaccine, it will help 100% for people after already got the vaccine? Is it expensive for the vaccine? If it is so expensive, how about poor people? how about poor countries on earth? Can all people in the world receive the vaccine? Based on Worldometer, there are about 7.8 Billion people in the world. Will the 7.8 Billion people receive the vaccine to save their lives from the Coronavirus?????

Well, come back to the title of my this blog post, U.K. administers first Covid-19 vaccine to 90-year-old grandma. As receiving the news on social media website, The U.K. administered the first Covid-19 vaccines to the public on Tuesday, making it one of the first countries in the world to do so. Ninety-year-old Margaret Keenan made history as the world's first person to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine outside of trial conditions. The vaccine was approved by the U.K. drug regulator last week.

Are You Ready for COVID-19 Vaccines?

 Dear Folks,

How have you been? I hope you all guys been well.

Well, welcome back to my Lylymom blog post.

For this blog post, i would love to share you a great news that U.S. federal government has told health officials in all 50 states to be ready for a coronavirus vaccine by November 1. And what the more amazing is that it is just two days before US Election Day on November 3.

So that's really great news, and I think that after they get the vaccine, the will be 100% fully protected.

US Health Agency: Be Ready for COVID-19 Vaccines by Nov. 1

The U.S. federal government has told health officials in all 50 states to be ready for a coronavirus vaccine by November 1.

The date is just two days before Election Day on November 3. Some public health experts have raised concerns. They worry that politics rather than science is driving the vaccine approval process.

Dr. Robert Redfield is director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). He sent a letter to governors and state health officials dated August 27. In the letter, he said states will receive permit applications to provide vaccines to state and local health departments and hospitals. He asked the states to “consider waiving requirements that would prevent these facilities from becoming fully operational by November 1, 2020.”

The health director noted the approval process will not compromise the safety or effectiveness of the vaccine. Several news organizations, including McClatchy, The New York Times and the Associated Press, received copies of the letter.

Drug to Treat Coronavirus Possible ‘Before the Summer’

The European Medicines Agency predicted that there could be drugs to treat the new coronavirus in the next few months. The organization added that a vaccine might be approved in early 2021.

Dr. Marco Cavaleri heads the European regulator’s vaccines department. He said Thursday that approving medicines to treat COVID-19 might be possible “before the summer” noting several current clinical trials.

A recent study in the United States suggested that the drug remdesivir could help patients recover from the coronavirus faster. Patients who received remdesivir recovered on average four days earlier than those who got the usual care. Earlier, animal studies showed remdesivir was effective against SARS and MERS, two diseases also caused by coronaviruses. It helped prevent infection and some symptoms when given early enough in the disease process.

In France, a group of hospitals reported success with use of another drug, Actemra, against COVID-19. In a study of 129 coronavirus patients, 65 were treated with the drug while the other patients received the usual care. The doctors did not release details, but said they were preparing to publish results. Actemra is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases.

Doctors around the world are also trying a treatment for infections that is about 100 years old: giving blood plasma from recovered patients to sick ones. Plasma is the yellowish liquid part of blood. The blood from former patients is filled with protein molecules that fight infection. These molecules can help survivors defeat COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Developing a vaccine

On Monday, the World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said there are around seven or eight “top” candidates for a vaccine to combat COVID-19. He added work on the vaccines is being accelerated and helped with an additional $8 billion by 40 countries.

It usually takes years to develop a vaccine. But....Read more on VOA News Learningenglish

The race is on to develop a vaccine against COVID-19.
At least 70 potential treatments are in development, with three at the clinical stage when human trials begin.
Outside China, the US is the only other country undertaking human testing.
America's top medical expert Anthony Fauci has said a vaccine could be ready within 12 to 18 months.
But health officials elsewhere say it could take even longer, as others warn against rushing the process.
John Nicholls is the clinical professor of pathology at the University of Hong Kong.
His team was one of the first outside mainland China to reproduce COVID-19 in a laboratory for research.
He joins us on Skype from Hong Kong.
