The arrival of the coronavirus vaccine is highly anticipated by so many Americans. This vaccine continues to be marketed as a necessary tool for stopping the virus, restoring safety, and getting Americans back on track to normality.
Following emergency use approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine quickly made their way across the nation.
Some of the first recipients of this vaccination were healthcare workers, politicians, and the elderly. Political leaders on both sides of the aisle received the COVID-19 vaccine on camera as a means of increasing public morale in the injection.
As of right now, more than one million Americans have been vaccinated against COVID-19, per Breitbart News.
Reviewing Vaccination Against COVID-19
A little over 9.4 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine were distributed thus far; earlier this week, President Trump informed Americans that millions of more doses are rapidly making their way across the country.
Thus far, more than one million of these vaccine doses have been given out. Different reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine, of course, varied. Some recipients took the shot without any problems; however, others promptly passed out, went into anaphylactic shock, or otherwise underwent dangerous allergic reactions.

In some areas, the negative reactions prompted certain pauses in giving out the vaccination. Since the aforementioned issues, the CDC came out with new guidelines for individuals who are receiving the vaccine for coronavirus.
To Get or Not to Get the COVID-19 Vaccine
Many Americans have stated that when a coronavirus vaccine becomes available to them, they’ll receive it. Others are adopting more hesitant or cautious approaches, though.
News of allergic reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine engendered some negative feedback and backlash; certain Americans subsequently questioned whether or not the vaccine was produced and rushed to market too soon.

In the weeks and months to come, more and more Americans will have access to the COVID-19 vaccine. There is talk that some employers will mandate their workers to be vaccinated against the virus; however, others, such as Chipotle, are recommending, yet not requiring the vaccine for their workers.
The arrival of the coronavirus vaccine has increased debates about the legality and morality of mandatory vaccination.
