According to CNN, Dr. Marcells Nunez-Smith is a Yale associate professor of medicine and epidemiology.

Last week, Pfizer and BioNTech filed for emergency authorization of their coronavirus vaccine with the Food and Drug Administration. The CDC will go through the information on the vaccine. Business Insider says the CDC must vote on whether to "recommend the vaccine and, if so, who should receive it." Dr. Celine Gounder is a member of Joe Biden's COVID-19 advisory board. On Friday, she told CNN that Biden "is leaving it to the public health experts and scientists to figure out how best to allocate the limited supply first."
14 (UPI) -- The incoming Biden administration's plan to release more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine won't cause supply shortages, Dr. Celine Gounder, a member of the newly created COVID-19 advisory board said Thursday. Two COVID-19 vaccines, made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, have been approved for use in the United States, and both require two doses for maximum effectiveness. Through Thursday, nearly 30 million doses of the two vaccines had been distributed across the country, but fewer than 11 million have been administered, based on estimates from the U.S.

"You will see him invoking the Defense Production Act," Dr. Celine Gounder, who's on Biden's COVID-19 advisory board, told CNBC on Monday. The DPA gives the president broad authority to pressure US industries to produce supplies in the interest of national defense. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
