Mike Emanuel on
Fox News Sunday that is still the timeline we’re looking at, factoring in the speed of the current vaccine rollout:
“We are clearly on schedule. 20 million vaccinations distributed by the first week in January, we expect another 30 million in January, another 50 million in February. And with the current contracts, even with just the vaccines we have right now, we still expect that any American who wants a vaccine can be vaccinated by June. That’s really very exciting.
