The federal government told state officials to expect a vaccine in less than a month, which will first be distributed to vulnerable populations.Written By: Shannon Marvel | Oct 28th 2020 - 7pm.
PIERRE, S.D. South Dakota health officials said a COVID-19 vaccine is expected to become available in mid-November, though that timeline isnt set in stone.
Department of Health Secretary Kim Malsam-Rysdon said when the vaccine arrives it will be administered to vulnerable populations, such as health care personnel, other essential workers, people with underlying medical conditions, those over the age of 65, racial and ethnic minority groups, tribal community members, incarcerated individuals, homeless shelters, colleges and universities, persons living in or working in congregate settings, rural communities, persons with disabilities and uninsured or underinsured people, according to the states distribution plan.
South Dakota reported nine more deaths on Wednesday, Oct. 28, bringing the death toll to 384.
The deaths included one person in their 50s, one in their 60s, one in their 70s and six over age 80.

This reads like a press release that has been fluffed ... with the added details of the Wednesday deaths.

WITH no long term study of effectiveness? Nothing remotely suggests that longterm immunity even exist with COVID and with any vaccine

Any adverse effects such as zombie outbreaks should be relatively easy to contain.
