Pfizer Inc. has launched a pilot delivery program for its experimental COVID-19 vaccine in four U.S. states, after announcing last week that early data shows the two-shot vaccine is 90% effective.
The drug maker picked New Mexico, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Texas for the pilot program, after weighing the states’ populations, racial diversity, immunization infrastructure and need to reach people in both urban and rural areas, Fox Business reported.
But Pfizer made clear that the states won’t get doses of the vaccine earlier than other states.
Remember they didn’t test on older people with problem or overweight.
