why would the company provide the food and drug administration and the public through its news releasey, very curious. we don't have the answer to that yet. we certainly would welcome the submission of the materials to the food and drug administration for careful examination and they also have an external expert advisory committee that will look at these data very, very carefully on the road to what we anticipate will be an emergency use authorization in about a month or so. >> why does it matter if it's being tested in the u.s.? this is sort of a devil's advocate question. couldn't authorities look at the real-world results from europe and officials could make a determination based on that? why do they have to have a trial here in the u.s.? what's specific about that? >> my understanding -- but this is through the side door, if you will -- is that the food and drug administration has to get more data in older persons. they wanted more secure information so that if the vaccine did have an emergency use authorization we could use it comfortably across the entire age spectrum. we all ant

after all, we still have to get these results for view by the food and drug administration, but we have our fingers crossed where optimistic and there's enough time now. so that we could get our vaccination programs organized for these teenagers, these high school students. and in addition, i think we'll have enough vaccine. so yes, i think the students may not like the jabs, but parents will be very pleased to have been pleased to send the kids back to school. that's for sure these trials were conducted. and as you said on teenagers high school students, what do we know about children under the age of 12 and a possible vaccine? well, the biotech pfizer, folks already working those studies as are other companies following up. so i think we'll add an abundance of data by the end of the summer, and we can start vaccinating people around the world. dr. schaffner, especially here in europe, are watching events in the u.s. . and, you know, they're confused and concerned. the u.s. is vaccinated about a quarter of adults now. very impressive. and yet we've got the centers for disease control w

days ago, after rigorous opening -- open and objective scientific review process, the food and drug administration issued an emergency use authorization for the johnson & johnson covid-19 vaccine. we should all be encouraged by this news of a third safe and highly effective covid-19 vaccine. the more people who get vaccinated, the faster we're going to overcome this virus, and get back to our loved ones, get our economy back on track, and start to move back to normal. but that's one of the -- my first goals in office was, when i got into office, to say that there will be 100 million vaccination shots administered in my first 100 days in office. we've got halfway to that goal and 37 days and i feel confident we'll make it all the way. as i've said, we have a long way to go, but, as i said from the outset, we're going it use every resource of the federal government to make it happen. among the things i learned when i came into office was that johnson & johnson was behind in manufacturing and production. we had the potential of another highly effective vaccine to accompany the two existing vaccines,

well i think all those data will come to our food and drug administration very soon if the f.d.a. is it an emergency use authorization its approval that i think will pour oil on the troubled waters around the world you know this vaccine cheap easy to use was going to be one of the major vaccines around the world we hope that's still the case all right dr william schaffner as always we appreciate your time in your concerns tonight good to see you thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation it continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the w. news or you can follow me at brant goff t.v. yet remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then a. boy . one continent. 700000000 people. all with their own personal stories. we explore every day life for. what europeans fear and what they hope for. some cars on the road. you know 90 minutes on d w. is quite as simple as it seems. to understand the world better we need to take a closer look at. the experience knowledge tomorrow tradition. copied ugly. in the ugly of climate change

of a bit of a limbo here but i think they're looking forward to is as they apply to the food and drug administration for emergency use authorization easier if they get to that will quiet a lot of the criticism around the world and when you talk about using it around the world specifically in developing nations is there a concern that you know in the court of public opinion the damage has already been done about this vaccine we've heard so much bad press about it need is there concern about that. of course there's concern about that and so if it starts to be used in large amounts it will have to be promoted in terms of preventing kogut which is very bad for you. and now we heard a lot about this on monday about a c.d.c. study that showed pfizer and madonnas vaccine were actually 80 percent effective after just one dose now of course the number goes up to 90 percent after 2 doses is there significance to the one dose efficacy where when we know 2 is better than one and we're actually seeing increased supply so does it really matter that one dose is really good. well it does matter in the sense that if
