In this news podcast, I look at the success and progress of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and their situation concerning receiving and Emergency Use Authorization (EUA).

Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met to determine recommendations on the distribution of the vaccines, I take a look at what they came up with.

I also look at some recent polls concerning what percentage of Americans would take the new vaccines–a very important factor for us to achieve some semblance of herd immunity.
