- President Donald Trump said during a Fox News town hall on Sunday night that he was "confident" the US would have a COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the year.
- He said "many" companies currently working to develop a coronavirus vaccine were getting "close" to having a vaccine ready for public use.
- Although companies are moving forward on vaccines at record speed, health experts have estimated that the development and distribution of a vaccine could take anywhere 12 to 18 months.
- And some experts have expressed concern that while at least 115 COVID-19 vaccines are in development, rushing them through the necessary testing and approval channels can be risky.
