Moderna just made an amazing announcement about its coronavirus vaccine

[Andy Meek]

• Moderna has reported some promising news about its coronavirus vaccine, which is one of two along with the vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech to have been given emergency use authorization in the US -- and more vaccines are coming soon.
• The biotech company says its coronavirus vaccine should provide the recipient with immunity to COVID-19 for at least one year.
• This comes as the number of coronavirus cases in the US is now at about 23 million since the start of the pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins University. There have also been more than 377,000 deaths in the US from COVID-19.

Good news has been such a rare thing during the coronavirus pandemic, which is continuing to kill a scary number of Americans every day -- while the US is, unfortunately, continuing to administer vaccine doses at something of a snail's pace.

Around 9 million coronavirus vaccine doses or so have been administered in the US so far, since December 14, depending on whether you're looking at CDC data or Bloomberg's vaccine tracker (which pegs the number at almost 9.3 million). That's still less than half the amount of people who were originally expected to be vaccinated by the end of 2020. Meantime, the US is seeing at least 3,223 coronavirus-related deaths every day, along with at least 248,650 new coronavirus cases, according to a seven-day average of Johns Hopkins University data calculated by CNBC. At least Moderna, fortunately, has just announced some fantastic news about its coronavirus vaccine.
