President Donald Trump on Friday held his first press conference in more than a week, saying Americans can expect emergency-use authorization for Pfizer’s CCP virus vaccine extremely soon.

Either Pfizer’s vaccine or another one could be sent out to front-line workers in “a matter of weeks” and may be sent out to the general population “as soon as April” of next year, the president remarked from the White House Rose Garden alongside Vice President Mike Pence and other officials.
