“By April, every single American who wants to be vaccinated will have the ability to be vaccinated. It’s not a forced vaccination, of course,” said Dr. Scott Atlas, member of the White House coronavirus task force, asked by Trump to give specifics at Friday’s press briefing.

The announcement clarifies remarks made at Thursday’s briefing, where Trump and Atlas spoke about “hundreds of millions of doses” of a vaccine available sometime in the first quarter of 2021.

Trump called out Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden for what he said was political “anti-vax” rhetoric. At a CNN-hosted town hall in Pennsylvania on Thursday, Biden said he did not trust Trump's word about the vaccine, but clarified he would take one endorsed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of Trump’s coronavirus advisers.

"I trust vaccines, I trust the scientists, but I don't trust Donald Trump," Biden told his audience.
