The FDA could approve Pfizer's vaccine in a meeting on Dec. 10 and Moderna's vaccine a week later. Health care workers, first responders and staff at long-term care facilities will be first in line for the vaccine. State and federal officials around the country say it is likely the vaccine will be widely available to the public by the spring. So when can we expect a return to normalcy?"It will be a gradual process that really begins when we have the majority of Americans vaccinated," said Dr. James Lawler, co-director of the Global Center for Health Security at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Lawler compared widespread vaccination to a pilot announcing "we've begun our descent.""The plane starts descending, but you still have a bit of flying time left, and so we're still going to have, you know, we're still going to need to take precautions," Lawler said, "We're not going to be completely back to normal for a while after we initiate vaccinations and vaccinate a majority of the population, but things are going to be much, much better by summer." Lawler said things "with few drawbacks," such as wearing a mask, will likely stick around a little longer. While Lawler said no vaccine is perfect, it is about the greater impact on the population. "Based on the very good data that's come out from the clinical trials so far, it will give enough immunity, and if you give enough immunity to enough of the population, then you really restrict the virus' ability to spread," he said.

Health care workers, first responders and staff at long-term care facilities will be first in line for the vaccine.

State and federal officials around the country say it is likely the vaccine will be widely available to the public by the spring.

So when can we expect a return to normalcy?

"It will be a gradual process that really begins when we have the majority of Americans vaccinated," said Dr. James Lawler, co-director of the Global Center for Health Security at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Lawler compared widespread vaccination to a pilot announcing "we've begun our descent."

"The plane starts descending, but you still have a bit of flying time left, and so we're still going to have, you know, we're still going to need to take precautions," Lawler said, "We're not going to be completely back to normal for a while after we initiate vaccinations and vaccinate a majority of the population, but things are going to be much, much better by summer."

Lawler said things "with few drawbacks," such as wearing a mask, will likely stick around a little longer.

While Lawler said no vaccine is perfect, it is about the greater impact on the population.

"Based on the very good data that's come out from the clinical trials so far, it will give enough immunity, and if you give enough immunity to enough of the population, then you really restrict the virus' ability to spread," he said.
