“By the time we get to April, that will be what I would call, for better wording, ‘open season,'” Dr. Fauci said. “Namely, virtually everybody and anybody in any category could start to get vaccinated.”
This effort will likely span several months due to sheer logistics, Dr. Fauci said. He predicted an overwhelming majority of people in the U.S. could be vaccinated by the middle or end of summer.
