an advisory board to the u.s. food and drug administration has recommended the pfizer coronavirus vaccine should be authorized for use. committee will meet again for formal approval, but it is a step in the right direction toward rolling out an immunization campaign and what is the worst affected country in the world. there are still safety concerns to think about. the vaccine was rolled out in the u.k. earlier this week. health-care workers and the vulnerable were the first to get it, but it came with a warning the day after -- those with anaphylactic allergies should not get it because to national health service staff had adverse reactions. still, this panel of advisors voted 17 to four in favor of the known benefits outweighing the risk in adults. off we go to silver spring, maryland where patty calpain is following this one. this is an advisory committee to the fda, so the fda still has to rubberstamp this? reporter: exactly. to separately -- two totally separate organizations. they have outside experts, so th

and we're hearing these things like the lead on the advisory board said this morning there's concern, he doesn't think there's enough data of the age range between 16 and 18 yet. he has questions. i'm left wondering if i'm the parent of a 16 to 18-year-old, what do i do when this becomes available? >> you might have to wait. if you want to get the complete data. the fda may recommend that until all that data is in, they either will recommend against. they'll recommend for. or they won't take a stand. there will be ambiguity. it is the trade off. but i'd rather be in the position we're in right now than try to dot all the is and cross all the ts, the biggest concern you have is that there's not something awful waiting. and all indications so far are there are not, but we've only had vaccine in the arm of tens of thousands of people. it's going to go to hundreds of thousands, hundreds of millions and ultimately billions of people. so we have a long way ahead of us but this is still a momentous day. >> thank you for coming on, doctor. >> thank you for having me. >>> we mentioned the supr

i assume that includes all of you as well on the covid advisory board. what is the biggest question you have, doctor, for him and the trump team? >> i think really getting more details on how they're planning to do distribution. >> are you not satisfied with what's been put out there yet? >> we certainly don't have enough detail yet. i mean it is a process of handing over this information and reading us in. so i wouldn't say i'm not satisfied, it's a process. >> it's getting under way in a very major way at this moment. thank you, doctor, i appreciate your time. >>> coming up for us, 50 states and 50 different vaccine distribution plans. we'll talk to michigan's chief medical executive about how the rollout is going to go in that state. do they have what they need and information they need? >>> and joe biden is calling on a new cabinet position focused on civil rights. is that going to happen? we're carvana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online. now we've created a brand-new way for you to sell your car. whether it's

you know, the defense business boards are essentially advisory boards. ey're civilians who volunteer their time to help the secretary of defense and their staff kind of tackle some tough problems that they might need extra thinking on. and there are boards for innovation. there is defense science board, defense policy board. defense business board, boards on sexual assault, boards for women in service and these were kind of nice to have ten, 20 years ago. but what the country is now facing a set of challenges that we've never faced before for the first time ever, the united states might actually lose a war. you know, while we were tackling isis and al qaeda. china and russia have kind of re-armed and in some areas passed us by or obsoleted our most important systems. so the role of these boards are not to design weapons or whatever, but to give the department of defense kind of an outsider view of what's going on in the commercial world. because the other thing then that happens, it used to be all the smartest technologies was inside the don't of defense

does the coronavirus advisory board have a plan for taking over the process after january 20? >> wolf, this is a very complex process as you can imagine. i said that there is a huge gap between a loading dock and an individual's arm. we are looking at manufacturing the vaccine and actually delivering and administering the vaccine. there is a lot of work that needs to be done. tribal and territory level to make sure that there is infrastructure in place to add minister the vaccines and making sure people are trained to administer the vaccine. all of the educational process needed in every community and in every language to make sure that people understand the value of the vaccine and trust it and lineup to take the vaccine. our advisory board is working with the transition team and exchanging the information with the current administration to make sure by january 20th we have everything in place on day one and we are ready to roll out. >> i know you need to run. if you get a vaccine. if you are not going to get coronavirus, can you transmit it? are you still contagious? >> we a

robert redfield accepted the recommendation by an advisory board, meaning that vaccining can now be administered here in the united states. this comes just hours after the first shipments of pfizer's vaccine left michigan, a sign of what could be the beginning of the end of the pandemic. more than 184,000 vials are expected to arrive in all 50 states by tomorrow. the plan, according to one u.s. official, is to vaccinate 100 million americans by march. that will take an incredible logistical feat. the distribution of the vaccine presenting one of the most complex logistical it projects. as we close in on nearly 300,000 dead, and counting. we've had 30,000 deaths in just the first two weeks of december. the number of new cases and hospitalizations continues to soar at the same time. we have a team of reporters covering every angle of the coronavirus roll-out, but first we want to get to this breaking news. right now the pfizer-biontech vaccine can be administered to the american public. dr. redfield gave the all-clear a short time ago. let's get to dr. sanjay gupta for what this all means. thank y

the meeting today is an advisory board meeting.eans that external outside, independent scientists will be looking at and discussing the data and analysis with the fda scientists and the company scientists and it'll all be in an open public forum and critical questions can get asked and hopefully answered. the fda will then take back the information from today's discussions and discuss it further within their own ranks. and i imagine that very quickly they will make a decision about whether to authorize this emergency use. but that's not the task for today. the advisory board will make a recommendation to the fda but it's only a recommendation. the fast will be making their actual approval decision very shortly thereafter. >> dr. hamburg, i wonder when approval comes, it does appear likely, are we going to continue this tale of two countries we have right now because we have bubbles. fairly persistent bubbles where there's a portion of the country that believes the disinformation that this virus is not as serious as the doctors and

the advisory boards don't have real power in the sense they can make decision.ndations. they can help a secretary of defense make more wiser decisions because they comprise a group of people who are out in the world, either in academia or the business world or who are defense experts like in security experts, henry kissinger, secretary albright. so he is purge all of the experts. it's an obscene jess closure to the biden supporters and to at least the majority of the american people saying, i'm going to get rid of all the expletives. don't put my people in. we don't know much of world affairs and defense affairs, this is just a salute to you in a way that's inappropriate. >> and as you saw in the washington post today, the newspaper reached out to every republican member of the house and senate this week and get this only 27 of them acknowledged that joe biden actually won the election. when you were in congress, when you were in the house, many years ago, you were one of the first republicans to break with your own party and calm forsfrom nixon's impeachment. s
