We don’t quite know that yet, a lot of testing is still going on. Distribution is something that is different for each vaccine and the government is currently working on a plan to get it out to everybody who needs it.A recommendation to listen to Democracy Now! Today. Denial seems to be the national disease. When will testing be available on the south coast? A mobile testing unit is being worked on for the south coast right now, may not be ready for several weeks due to bureaucracy. Since we don’t really know how immune people are after they contract the virus, how will we know how effective the vaccine is? Does the new police patrol cars flying the confederate/thin blue line flag mean they won’t do anything to enforce COVID guidelines? Getting COVID causes a high level of immunity afterwards in the patient, which means we can infer that the vaccine would provide a high level of immunity as well.How does the intranasal vaccine work? There is currently not an international vaccine that has been proven to work. Other countries are working on them.Could you explain the viral vector method? They work by tricking the virus into making protein fragments that replicate the spiky covid proteins that are on the outside of the Covid-19 virus, so we can develop antibodies against the virus without ever actually having it in the vaccine inteself.
