CDC May Have a Vaccine Ready By November 1

The Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that they might have a possible coronavirus vaccine by November, the New York Post reported. The CDC  told state governors and health officials to be ready.

According to The Hill, McKesson Corporation, a Texas-based healthcare company, requested permits for building distribution sites, CDC Director Robert Redfield said.

Last week, every state and U.S. territory received outlines for the allocation of two potential vaccines.

The New York Times reported that the documents include a description of the two unnamed vaccines and that each would require two doses spaced two weeks apart.

Essential workers, national security employees, seniors, and high-risk people will be prioritized in receiving the treatment.
