The Trump administration has laid out an extraordinarily ambitious timeline for a coronavirus vaccine.
Operation Warp Speed, the government's initiative to speed up vaccine work, say it's aiming to deliver 300 million doses of a safe and effective shot by January 1. Creating a vaccine in less than a year would be an unprecedented featunder normal circumstances, it can take a decade to develop a new vaccine and bring it to market.
But even if Warp Speed accomplishes this goal, most of us won't be getting coronavirus vaccines in January. When administration officials talk about Warp Speed, they usually don't mention that it will take months to distribute the shots across the nation.
Here's how the US health department describes Warp Speed, for example: "Operation Warp Speed aims to deliver 300 million doses of a safe, effective vaccine for COVID-19 by January 2021."
