"As soon as the vaccine is approved, the administration will deliver it to American people immediately. Hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month and we expect to have enough vaccines for every American by April," said Trump.

"The vaccine should be developed as soon as possible to end the pandemic and get life back to normal. A successful vaccine will not only save millions of lives, it will end restrictions," said Trump.

He added, "All vaccines are going through the gold standard of clinical trials with a heavy emphasis on safety."

The president had earlier said that Covid 19 the vaccine could be ready within a month. During a town hall question-and-answer session with voters in Pennsylvania which aired on ABC News Trump said “We’re very close to having a vaccine,” a report by Agence France-Presse said. “We’re within weeks of getting it you know -- could be three weeks, four weeks,” he said.
