Fauci: Vaccine rollout in US ‘disappointingly’ slow
Dr. Anthony Fauci criticized on Thursday the COVID-19 vaccine distribution speed in the United States, saying that the rollout process has been “disappointing.”
“We would’ve liked to have seen it run smoothly and have 20 million doses into people today, by the end of 2020, which was the projection. Obviously, it didn’t happen and that’s disappointing,” Fauci said in an interview with NBC News, revealing that only 2.8 million doses were administered out of 12.4 million distributed jabs.
The Food and Drug Administration has so far approved the emergency use of two different coronavirus vaccines, the one developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, as well as Moderna’s candidate. Despite the start of mass inoculation, the country continues to register a record number of virus-related deaths.
