Dr. Fauci explains why CVS and Walgreens are the best places to get a COVID vaccine

[Andy Meek]

• The first injections of a second coronavirus vaccine, this time from Moderna, are happening around the company starting on Monday.
• In a Q&A with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci explained that CVS and Walgreens are going to eventually be the fastest route to the vaccine for most people.
• Both drugstore chains announced COVID vaccination programs in recent days.

Now that the FDA has approved an emergency use authorization for a second coronavirus vaccine, this time from Moderna, FedEx announced over the weekend that it's set to begin shipping out the first wave of this new vaccine around the country.

Calling this "the most important work in the history of FedEx," the company said its FedEx Express division will begin transporting the vaccine and supply kits, after months of prep and planning with pharmaceutical giant McKesson, state and local officials around the US, as well as officials with the federal government's Operation Warp Speed vaccine program. The first jabs of this new coronavirus vaccine into peoples' arms should begin on Monday, though officials caution that most people won't receive it until 2021 is underway. This begs the question, what about the timetable for most people? How will generally healthy people receive this vaccine the fastest?
