Trump takes credit for vaccine break througjs

Donald Trump reacted to news of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine being 94.5 percent effective by saying the 'great discovery took place on my watch'

Joe Biden warned that Americans still needed to wear masks and social distance because widespread distribution of the doses is still months away
The US government has already bought 100 million doses of Moderna's vaccine
Pfizer announced a week ago that its own COVID-19 vaccine was 90% effective

Moderna expects to have enough safety data required for US authorization in the next week or so and the company expects to file for FDA emergency use authorization in the coming weeks

The US could have two vaccines authorized for emergency use next month with as many as 60 million doses available by the year's end

A key advantage of Moderna's vaccine is that it does not need ultra-cold storage like Pfizer's, making it easier to distribute
Moderna expects it to be stable at standard refrigerator temperatures of 36 to 48F for 30 days and it can be stored for up to 6 months at -4F
