Insurance companies are expected to cover the cost of vaccination for most Americans, a senior administration official said at a briefing on government efforts to get the vaccine before the end of the year.

As for those who do not have insurance, the official added: “Our role as the federal government is to ensure that every person who is vulnerable but cannot afford the vaccine gets it.”

The official said that the vaccine, created with federal funding, will be first offered to the Americans and only then delivered to other countries.

“We have very clear priorities - we take care of the Americans first,” the administration representative said.

“If there is a surplus, then we are interested in having people around the world vaccinated,” he added, noting that the virus came to the United States from abroad.

Other countries sign separate vaccine manufacturing contracts elsewhere.

“Our contracts in no way prohibit people from receiving other vaccines in other regions of the world,” the official added.

As part of Operation Operation Warp Speed, the administration wants 300 million doses of the vaccine by January 2021.

So far, the government has announced contracts worth more than $ 3 billion to support testing, production and distribution of the vaccine. Congress allocated about $ 10 billion to create vaccines, develop treatment methods and diagnose COVID-19.

During the development process, 100 candidates were selected from over 14 vaccines. The government said it will select the seven most promising for clinical trials.

The Trump administration has already announced support for candidate vaccines being developed by three companies.

Moderna began the first phase of a three-phase clinical trial in mid-March. Johnson & Johnson plans to start them this summer, and AstraZeneca will begin the final, large-scale phase of clinical trials of a vaccine developed by the University of Oxford this summer.

The administration claims that the vaccine will be available as early as October if the tests are successful.
