Maybe 2Q21 or 3Q21? Theralase keep talking about launching US sites in 4Q20 and 1Q21, subject to impossible conditions.

Agree. The U.S. is rapidly ramping up vaccine inventory for its healthcare workers. Most heavily impacted states should start vaccinating before month end (post anticipated approval within the next 2 weeks). Between Moderna & Pfizer, there should roughly be 25 to 30 million doses available in the US by year end. So even for a two-dose vaccine (booster is given 3 to 4 weeks later), that's a great start considering the total number of US health care workers is ~15+ million. Keeping the health care force "healthy & happy" should not only help morale, but also improve hospital capacity. JMO.
