Apparently a vaccine is on the way. Requires two shots. When can I get a coronavirus vaccine? lays out when it might happen.
- Both Moderna and Pfizer have recently delivered promising news that their coronavirus vaccines are highly effective, in large, diverse human trials.
- But that doesn't mean you're going to be able to get a shot before the end of 2020.
- In all likelihood, the first coronavirus vaccines will begin rolling out to frontline workers and vulnerable populations in the last days of 2020, or possibly early 2021.
- By Memorial Day in late May, it's possible that everyone in the US who wants a shot will have access.
- But even after that, it may take several months to develop enough herd immunity through vaccination to make mass gatherings safe.
