Covid-19 vaccines are packaged at the Pfizer facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on December 13. PoolWith the greenlight of the FDA's emergency use authorization, Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccines will be sent out to hundreds of facilities across the United States this week. The vaccine is being shipped from Pfizer's facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The US Food and Drug Administration granted approval Friday for the drug company's Covid-19 vaccine candidate, a move that director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research said "holds the promise to alter the course of this pandemic." Vaccine hesitancy could undermine Covid-19 response: American Medical Association President Dr. Susan Bailey said in a statement Saturday the biggest obstacle to the vaccine is people's willingness to be vaccinated.
