The EU has sealed six vaccine contracts with a variety of manufacturers. In the U.S., Dr. Mysheika Roberts, health commissioner in Columbus, Ohio, said demand has been lower than expected among the people given top priority for the vaccine. For example, the city’s 2,000 emergency medical workers are all eligible, but the health department has vaccinated only 850 of them. She said some people were hesitant to get the vaccine and wanted to see how others handled it. Roberts noted there has been no effective mass marketing campaign explaining why people should get vaccinated.
