CORONAVIRUS/VACCINES: [Reporter: “Mr. President, earlier today, [CDC Director] Dr. Redfield confirmed that it looked like November, December the first doses would be able to be distributed. But then he said that the vaccine for the general public likely would not be available until probably next summer, maybe even early fall. Are you comfortable with that timeline?”]
“No, I think he made a mistake when he said that. It’s just incorrect information. And I called him, and he didn’t tell me that, and I think he got the message maybe confused. Maybe it was stated incorrectly. No, we’re ready to go immediately as the [coronavirus] vaccine is announced, and it could be announced in October. It could be announced a little bit after October.”
