US Approves Coronavirus Vaccine for Emergency Use

VOA News

   The United States has approved the use of a coronavirus vaccine, a
   landmark development in a country where COVID-19 has killed more than
   295,000 people, according to Johns Hopkins University's Coronavirus
   Research Center.

   The Food and Drug Administration late Friday approved Pfizer's vaccine,
   developed with German partner BioNTech, for emergency use.

   Inoculations are expected to begin within days, with health care
   workers and elderly people in long-term care facilities set to receive
   the first shots, when the first round of 2.9 million doses becomes
   available this month.
