California Gov. Gavin Newsom said his state will independently review the anticipated, federally approved CCP virus vaccine before distributing it to residents.
Newsom said during an Oct. 19 press conference that he’s established a panel of 11 immunization and epidemiology experts from across the state. While there is no proven vaccine for the CCP virus yet, the expert panel is tasked to review the safety and efficacy of any vaccine approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for distribution, he said.
