Reynolds Statement on FDA approval for the Moderna vaccine
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
Governor Reynolds released the following statement on FDA emergency approval of the Moderna vaccine:
"Following FDA approval for the Moderna vaccine, the state of Iowa can vastly expand vaccinations for our hospital workers, long-term care residents, and move forward with additional priority groups and the general population.
As with the Pfizer distribution, our state is ready to receive shipments and distribute them quickly. This represents another positive step forward but until the vaccine is widely available, we must continue to mitigate the virus by practicing public health measures so we can protect the most vulnerable and preserve hospital resources, while keeping Iowans healthy, our economy open and our kids in school."
