Most U.S. Adults Should Have Access to Vaccine Starting in April, Be Inoculated by Summer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. is now administering nearly 1.7 million COVID-19 vaccinations
per day, on average, surpassing President Biden's goal of 1.5 million a
day. Chief White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci told NBC he
believes the "overwhelming majority of people" in the U.S. could be
vaccinated by the middle or end of summer.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: "By the time we get to April, that will be what I
would call, you know, for better wording, open season - namely,
virtually everybody and anybody in any category could start to get
vaccinated."

Fauci said vaccines for children as young as 6 or 7 could be authorized
by the start of the next school year.
