“The number of doses that will be available in December – said Fauci in an interview with BBC News – certainly will not be enough to vaccinate everyone. We will have to wait several months until 2021. What will happen is that there will be priorities. ‘, so people who work in health care will have it first, as well as people who are in the categories with the highest risk of complications. “

But when it comes to vaccinating a substantial part of the population, to have a significant impact on the dynamics of spread (from the virus), this probably won’t happen before the second or third quarter of the year. ”(TAKE CARE OF).
