All Americans who want to get vaccinated against the coronavirus will be vaccinated in June, said Lt. Gen. Paul Ostrowski, director of supply, production and distribution for Operation Warp Speed.
When asked about his expectations regarding how many Americans would have already been vaccinated against COVID-19 in June, Ostrowski said: "One hundred percent of Americans who want the vaccine will have already received it by that time."
