A coronavirus vaccine will likely become available in the United States by the end of the second week of December, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Robert Redfield said Tuesday.
Redfield told Fox News' The Daily Briefing that the vaccine would be made available "in a hierarchical way" that will prioritize “nursing home residents and then some combination of health care providers and individuals at high risk for a poor outcome.”
“I do think we’ll have about 40 million doses of vaccine before the end of the … year,” Redfield said. “That’s enough to vaccinate 20 million people. But then it will continue through January and February and hopefully by March we’ll start to see vaccine available for the general public.”
