WASHINGTON – Vaccine distribution centers to begin receiving 3. 9 million doses of new Johnson vaccine
A total of 20 million doses will be sent in March, more concentrated at this time of the month, authorities said.
Most communities will have all 3 types of coronavirus vaccines, but at all vaccination sites.
White House officials, who informed reporters on the condition that they were known by name, suggested to the public that the first vaccine be made available.
All three are effective in preventing what is feared at most: serious illness, hospitalization and death, a senior management official said.

However, vaccines are directly compared because the trials were conducted at other times.
It has been almost one hundred percent effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths.
Due to the difference in effectiveness in the contraction of the virus, administration officials have stated that they are ordering the courts to distribute them, and will ensure that this happens.
The new doses are distributed to the states in their population, as are other vaccines.
Rochelle P. Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a statement that the new vaccine arrives at a potentially crucial time: recent decreases in COVID-19 cases would possibly stall as infections are still high.
“Having other types of vaccines available for use, especially those with other dosage recommendations and management and garage requirements, can offer more features and flexibility for the public, jurisdictions, and vaccine providers,” Walensky said. “Vaccinate with the first vaccine available to help protect us all from COVID-19. “
