Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gave his approval for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccinations on Sunday, as shipments of the vaccine left a Michigan facility and were being sent to hundreds of distribution centers nationwide.
The first of nearly 3 million doses of the first COVID-19 vaccine were packed in dry ice and put on trucks early Sunday at a Pfizer plant in Kalamazoo. Workers applauded as the first truck left the plant carrying a load of the vaccine, The New York Times reported.
“Last night, I was proud to sign the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ recommendation to use Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in people 16 and older,” Redfield said in a statement.
