Monsef Saloi, Scientific Advisor for the North American Immunization Operation, admitted that the number of vaccines was lower than expected. “We know it should be better, and we are working hard to make it better,” he said in an interview on Wednesday (12/30).
The first case of the new coronavirus version was reported last Tuesday (12/20) in the US state of Colorado. According to a statement by the state’s governor, Jared Polis, the patient “will be a man in his 20s who is currently isolated in Albert County and has no travel history.”
