Is There a COVID-19 Vaccine?

The coronavirus pandemic has taken the world by storm. Many countries have gone on complete lockdown, travel bans were instated, businesses have closed down temporarily, and people are learning to navigate a new reality. For many Americans, after being locked in the house for two months or more, people are anxious to know if there is an approved cure for the coronavirus. While the world is still waiting for the news on a COVID-19 vaccine development, our Tulsa movers can tell you what you need to know about the possibility of a vaccine.

COVID-19 Vaccine News

Though there have been a number of reports on the news about people who have had the coronavirus surviving either from blood transfusions or trial medications, at this time, “there are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs specifically for the treatment of COVID-19. Researchers are studying new drugs, and drugs that are already approved for other health conditions, as possible treatments for COVID-19. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has more information for health care providers about these potential treatments.”1

It is important to always check with credible sources such as the CDC or WHO before consuming anything that claims to treat or prevent the coronavirus or its symptoms, and for factual COVID-19 vaccine development.

What the FDA Is Doing to Handle Fraudulent COVID-19 Vaccines

With all the confusion about a true COVID-19 vaccine development, it is normal to wonder what the FDA plans to do about the people who are trying to capitalize on a bad situation. Our long-distance movers in Tulsa want to share the FDA’s efforts in preventing any spread of misinformation or harmful medicines.

According to the CDC, the FDA has “established a cross-agency task force dedicated to closely monitor for fraudulent COVID-19 products. We have reached out to major retailers to ask for their help in monitoring online marketplaces for fraudulent COVID-19 products.” 2 This means that the FDA is investigating any product sold that claims to prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure the coronavirus but has not demonstrated safety and effectiveness for that use. If caught, these businesses and products are subject to law enforcement action.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is working alongside the FDA to issue warning letters to companies who are violating the federal law by selling unapproved products backed by false claims of treating the coronavirus, posing a risk to the health of many Americans.

Our residential movers in Tulsa care about the wellbeing and health of all our customers. We urge you to contact your primary care physician before consuming anything that claims to treat COVID-19 and for any additional COVID-19 vaccine development.

Here at All My Sons Moving & Storage, we thank our clients for trusting us with their relocation. Given the increased attention of COVID-19 (coronavirus), we want to assure all clients that their safety and our employees’ safety are a top priority. While we’re experts in moving, we want our clients to know that we’re actively implementing the health and safety guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure we take the proper precautions.

We’ve instructed our employees that experience symptoms, defined by the CDC, to not report to work and instead contact their doctors. We ask that if you or any of your family members have experienced COVID-19 symptoms, please let us know immediately so we can take the proper additional precautions.

As a company, we believe in serving our community and supporting each other, especially during difficult times. We believe in the power of us, all of us!
