Trump hails progress on COVID-19 vaccine

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has hailed developments in the race for a vaccine for the resurgent coronavirus.

Speaking from the Rose Garden of Friday, Trump said a vaccine would ship in “a matter of weeks” to vulnerable populations, though the Food and Drug Administration has not yet been asked to grant the necessary emergency approvals.

In addition, there’s no information yet as to whether the vaccine worked in vulnerable populations or only in younger, healthier study volunteers.
