After the development of two highly effective vaccines by the end of 2020 — one from Pfizer/BioNTech and the other from Moderna, both with approximately 95% efficacy after two doses — focus has now fallen on their distribution.

“Numerous high-flying executives and dealmakers have been cycling through private physicians and concierge services to receive one of the two established COVID-19 vaccines on the market,” reported Variety. “Others have been tapping their vast resources in a mad dash to get vaccinated as the government, especially in Hollywood’s native California, churns through a sluggish rollout.”
