WASHINGTON – US President-elect Joe Biden has set a goal of 100 million COVID vaccinations in his first 100 days in office.

“My first 100 days won’t end the COVID-19 virus. I can’t promise that. But we did not get into this mess quickly. We’re not going to get out of it quickly,” Biden said.

He said in the first “100 days we can change the course of the disease and change life in America for the better.”

But he warned that the coronavirus efforts could “slow and stall” if Congress did not conclude bipartisan talks and urgently come up with funding.

Biden gave few details of how the largest vaccination program in US history would be carried out.

He complained last week he had been given no rollout plans by the Trump administration. (BBC)
