    Biotech Roundup &The delivery of the Pfizer’s vaccine to U.S. – starts Today

    This weekend, the U.S. government is packaging millions of doses of the coronavirus vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech for distribution to places around the country, a mammoth logistics task in favor of what could be the most difficult immunization campaign in history.

    In delivering the vaccine, which is delicate and needs careful care, FedEx and UPS would play key roles. At the terminal, shipments can gain preferential entry. If a plane arrives to land with vaccinations, other passenger flights may have to loop around to wait for their chance.

    The arrival of the first vaccines comes as the virus continues to rage through the USA, with more than 207,000 new cases identified on Saturday by authorities. That took the number to more than 16 million, the most in the world by far. For the first time on Wednesday, more than 3,000 deaths were reported, and the country’s number is nearing 300,000.
