"As I speak today, right now, vaccines are being packaged," Gen. Gustave Perna, co-leader of Operation Warp Speed in charge of logistics, said Saturday. "Tomorrow morning, vaccines will start rolling from manufacturing to distribution hubs. By Monday, vaccines will be received."

The vaccine will be sent to 636 hospitals, clinics and public health systems nationwide, with 145 sites receiving doses Monday, 425 on Tuesday and the final 66 on Wednesday, Perna said. No vaccine doses were positioned in advance, he said.

Vaccinations will begin Monday, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said during a meeting Saturday.

Health care workers and nursing home residents are first in line. Patients and caregivers will receive fact sheets describing the risks and benefits, she said.

Earlier Saturday, Food and Drug Administration officials reassured the American public that the agency did not cut corners in its review and urged people to get vaccinated. The United States is on the cusp of losing 300,000 people to COVID-19."
