The Food and Drug Administration has authorized Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use, clearing the way for millions of highly vulnerable people to begin receiving the vaccine within days.

The authorization is a historic turning point in a pandemic that has taken more than 290,000 lives in the United States. With the decision, the U.S. becomes the 5th country — in addition to Britain, Bahrain, Canada and Saudi Arabia — to clear the vaccine. Other authorizations, including by the European Union, are expected within weeks. A similar vaccine, developed by Moderna, is also under review by the FDA and may also soon be cleared for emergency use.

Federal officials have said an initial shipment of about 2.9 million doses will be sent around the country during the first week. Health care workers and nursing home residents are expected to get the vaccine first.

Pfizer has said it will be able to supply up to 25 million doses before the end of the year, and 100 million total vaccines by March.
