Pfizer Applies For emergency Use Of Covid Vaccine Amid Testing Bottleneck


Everyone is hoping for useful vaccines to be available as soon as possible. CNBC.com's MacKenzie Sigalos has the day's top business news headlines. Pfizer submitted its Covid-19 vaccine to the FDA for emergency authorization today, kicking off the first step of the approval and deployment process. But CNBC's Bertha Coombs explains how, at the same time, the combination of rising infection and Thanksgiving travel prep is putting a strain on some clinics that offer tests for the virus. Plus, the "After Hours" team dives into the rave reviews for Apple's new M1 chips.

Think about the world's economy, stocks, Coronavirus Covid-19 testing bottlenecks and more.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC at cdc.gov) is a national public health institute in the United States. It is a United States federal agency, under the Department of Health and Human Services, and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. You might have thought about the CDC vaccine schedule.

Vaccines can have various side effects, such as hpv vaccine side effects and shingles vaccine side effects.

Common side effects of HPV vaccine:
Pain, redness, or swelling in the arm where the shot was given
Fever
Headache or feeling tired
Nausea
Muscle or joint pain

Shingrix Shingles Vaccination is interesting. It seems that most people get a sore arm with mild or moderate pain after getting Shingrix, and some also had redness and swelling where they got the shot. Some people felt tired, had muscle pain, a headache, shivering, fever, stomach pain, or nausea.

Vaccines are a wonderful invention of humankind. Some of the most popular internet searches about vaccines include:

In the world, progress has been made with vaccination. In total there are now at least 28 human diseases against which we have effective vaccines. The breakthrough that allowed us to get there was made in the late 18th century, the smallpox vaccine was the very first vaccine.

There are 5 main types of vaccines: attenuated (live) vaccines, inactivated vaccines, toxoid vaccines, subunit vaccines, and conjugate vaccines.

Some people might have thought about whether a vaccine is a live virus or not. Vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and nasal spray flu vaccines contain live, but weakened viruses. Unless a person's immune system is weakened, it is unlikely that a vaccine will give the person the infection. People with weakened immune systems should not receive these live vaccines.

    1. Thanks for liking the informative post.

      Amazingly, Pfizer Company made almost $40 billion from the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021, making it among the best-selling drugs in all history. Pfizer really expects to bring in $50 billion from the vaccine and the Paxlovid therapeutic in 2022.

      Hopefully, the tools (vaccines and treatments) will enable humans to not only better manage the pandemic but also move into the endemic phase.

      "Endemic" is an adjective that means natural to, native to, confined to, or widespread within a place or population of people.

      Endemic is perhaps most commonly used to describe a certain disease that is prevalent in or restricted to a particular location, region, or population. For example, malaria is said to be endemic to tropical regions.

      COVID-19 is not yet endemic. Currently, COVID-19 is not endemic and is still classified as a worldwide pandemic. The COVID-19 virus is still mutating into various variant strains and widespread immunity to COVID-19 will likely take certainly a long time to achieve.
