Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine will be administered in less than 24 hours, former US President Donald Trump has said. This comes after the US Food and Drug Administration on Friday approved Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use across the country. "The first vaccine will be administered in less than 24 hours," Trump said while adding that the pandemic came from China but ended "right here in America".
In a video shared on Twitter, Trump said, "Today our nation has achieved a medical miracle, we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just 9 months. This is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history. It will save millions of lives and soon end the pandemic once and for all.
Trump said that he was proud to say that he has "made sure that this vaccine would be free to all Americans." He further said that his administration has already started shipping the vaccine to every state and zip code in the country.
"When the ChinaVirus invaded our shores, I promised that we would produce a vaccine in record time before the end of the year. They said it couldn't be done but with today's announcement by the FDA, we have achieved that goal," he said. Trump further went on to add that the US is the first country in the world to produce "a verifiable, safe and effective vaccine".
