TO
TO TRY
TO TRY AND HURRY THIS ALONG BECAUSE I WORRY ABOUT THEIR HEALTH. :52
A MIDDLETON WOMAN
SAYS HER FAMILY IS THE
REASON SHE'S
PARTICIPATING IN A
COVID-19 VACCINE TRIAL.
WITH PROMISING NEWS
AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL...
IDAHO LEADERS ARE
PLANNING FOR THE
ROLLOUT OF A VACCINE...
ONCE ITS AUTHORIZED.
WHILE
WHILE TRIALS CONTINUE... THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND WELFARE
IS SAYING TONIGHT--
DISTRIBUTION COULD
START BEFORE THE END OF
THE YEAR.
JOEY PRECHTL DUG INTO
THAT TIMELINE FOR US.
JOEY-- HOW DID THEY
ARRIVE AT THAT?
MARK -- AT THIS TIME IT
DEPENDS ON WHEN THE
F-D-A WILL GIVE
EMERGENCY
AUTHORIZATION TO A
VACCINE.
YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT
PFIZER AND MODERNA
TOUTING THE EFFICACY OF
THEIR VACCINE
CANDIDATES.
I TALKED WITH A WOMAN
TONIGHT WHO IS TAKING
PART IN ASTRAZENECA'S
VACCINE TRIAL... AND
WHAT LED HER TO THAT
DECISION.
DECISION.
3:36
3:36 I
3:36 I HAVE MY OLDER PARENTS AND I ALSO HAVE MY KIDS I WORRY
ABOUT TOO SO I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE A VACCINE OF
THIS DEVELOPED. 3:46
KIM QUINN IS ONE OF
AROUND 30 THOUSAND
AMERICANS TO TAKE PART
IN ASTRAZENECA'S
COVID-19 VACCINE TRIAL.
SHE RECEIVED HER FIRST
DOSE ABOUT A WEEK AGO
-- AND TOOK THIS SELFIE
RIGHT BEFORE.
WHILE SHE ISN'T SURE IF
SHE'S GETTING THE
VACCINE-- OR A
PLACEBO... SHE'S DEALING
WITH SOME SIDE EFFECTS.
3:11 I HAD A LOW GRADE
FEVER, AND PAIN IN THE
INJECTION SITE AND
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH
AND A LITTLE BIT OF A
SORE THROAT. 3:20
WHILE THE TRIAL
CONTINUES-- THE STATE
OF IDAHO IS GEARING UP
TO DISTRIBUTE TENS OF
THOUSANDS
THOUSANDS OF DOSES THE VACCINE ONCE IT'S APPROVED FOR USE.
IT NEEDS EMERGENCY USE
AUTHORIZATION FROM
THE F-D-A... AND
APPROVAL FROM THE
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON
IMMUNIZATION
PRACTICES.
IMMUNIZATION PRACTICES. 4:00 WE ARE PLANNING
FOR THE SOONEST
POSSIBLE DATE IS WITHIN
A FEW WEEKS. 4:07
MEANING SOME
IDAHOANS COULD GET
THIS VACCINE BEFORE
YEAR'S END.
7:19 I THINK THERE'S A
STRONG POSSIBILITY OF
THAT, YEAH. 7:22 IT WILL
DEPEND ON WHEN THE
FIRST COMPANY APPLIES
FOR EMERGENCY USE
AUTHORIZATION. 7:30
SARAH LEEDS IS THE
IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM
MANAGER FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
AND WELFARE. SHE'S IN
CHARGE OF GETTING A
VACCINE TO IDAHOANS.
AT THIS TIME -- ITS NOT
CLEAR JUST HOW MANY
DOSES THE STATE WILL
GET.
1:56 IT VARIES, I WOULD
SAY AN AVERAGE IS 50
THOUSAND DOSES
INITIALLY. 2:03
RIGHT NOW -- LEEDS
BELIEVES PFIZER COULD BE
THE FIRST CANDIDATE TO
GET APPROVAL.
4:08 WE HAVE HEARD
THAT PFIZER ANYDAY
NOW IS GOING TO APPLY
FOR EMERGENCY USE
AUTHORIZATION 4:15
THE PROCESS COULD TAKE
A COUPLE WEEKS.
AND WITH A LIMITED
SUPPLY... HEALTHCARE
WORKERS WILL BE FIRST
IN LINE-- FOR THE FIRST
DOSE.
9:29 AS WE CAN MEET THE
DEMAND, THEN WE'LL
MOVE INTO THE
POPULATIONS THAT ARE
LESS AT RISK OF
INFECTION. 9:37
RIGHT NOW THERE ARE
THREE PHASES -- THE
COVID-19 VACCINE
ADVISORY COMMITTEE IS
STILL WORKING OUT WHO
FALLS WHERE... BUT THEY
DO KNOW PHASE 1-A IS
HEALTHCARE WORKERS
AND LONG TERM CARE
FACILITY WORKERS.
AS SUPPLY RAMPS UP --
THE STATE WILL MOVE TO
THE NEXT PHASE -- BUT
THERE AREN'T CONCRETE
TIMELINES AT THIS POINT.
9:14 IT'LL BE VERY LIMITED
SUPPLY IN THE EARLY DAYS
ONE
ONE IDAHOAN FOR SURE IS GETTING THE VACCINE -- AND THAT'S KIM QUINN
TAKING PART IN THE TRIAL.
6:22 I'D LIKE TO BE
VACCINATED 6:24
7:19 I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE
NOT GOING TO RELEASE IT
UNLESS ITS SAFE. 7:22
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD
THAT THE GOVERNORS
FROM CALIFORNIA,
NEVADA, OREGON AND
WASHINGTON ARE PART
OF A SCIENTIFIC SAFETY
REVIEW WORKGROUP.
THOSE STATES ARE
PLANNING ON
INDEPENDENTLY
REVIEWING ANY VACCINE
APPROVED BY THE F-D-A.
IDAHO IS NOT PLANNING
ON THAT... AND WOULD
FOLLOW THE SAME STEPS
AS ANY OTHER VACCINE.
ONCE APPROVED-- LEEDS
SAYS THE GENERAL PUBLIC
CAN EXPECT TO GET A
CHANCE TO GET
VACCINATED AROUND THE
SPRING OR SUMMER.
MARK?
