But Trump and one of his top advisers said they were confident that a vaccine would be approved, manufactured and ready for distribution to all by April. "As soon as a vaccine is approved the administration will deliver it to the American people immediately," Trump said at a White House news briefing on Friday. The federal government's Operation Warp Speed program for developing a vaccine earlier this week made the same promise. "We'll have manufactured at least 100 million vaccine doses before the end of the year, and likely much more than that," he said. "Millions of doses will be available every month, and we expect to have enough vaccines for every American by April."
