Pfizer plans to submit new data to the Food and Drug Administration this week, bringing families with young children one step closer to a long-awaited vaccine.
According to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, new reported cases have jumped more than 50% since last week to 7,279. Hospitalizations increased by 36 patients.
About half have been wasted because of leftover doses in an opened vial, and the other half because they reached an expiration date, according to data provided by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services.
