3. Indiana Vaccine Distribution
In December, both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for COVID-19 granted Emergency Use Approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since then, Gov. Eric Holcomb has publicized the first phases of the state’s distribution plan and Putnam County has begun administering the vaccine.
Due to a limited supply of the vaccines, the rollout has been phased, focusing on getting the individuals most at risk of contracting or dying from the virus vaccinated first.
