26. What is the status of the five states that said they needed to have their own independent approval ?

"At least five states – California, Nevada, New York, Oregon and Washington – and a Black medical group say they’ll conduct independent verification of any COVID-19 vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration."

If they won't allow their residents to receive the vaccine, the priority on distribution needs to be on those remaining states that will accept the FDA approval.
