Washington: United States President-elect Joe Biden has vowed 100 million Covid-19 vaccinations for the country in his first 100 days in office.
According to details, Biden said he would not be able to end the coornavirus outbreak immediately but his government would change the course of Covid-19.
“My first 100 days won’t end the Covid-19 virus. I can’t promise that. But we did not get into this mess quickly. We’re not going to get out of it quickly,” Biden said.
While introducing his health team, the president-elect urged all citizens to wear mask for 100 days.
The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine has been approved for widespread use in US after United Kingdom (UK) began its mass vaccination program yesterday where a 90-year-old woman from Northern Ireland became the first person in the world to receive coronavirus vaccine outside trial conditions.
US has been the worst hit country by coronavirus and it has so far reported 15 million cases and 285,000 deaths.
Many parts of US are still witnessing surge in cases, with record numbers of people in hospital.
