“We should have enough vaccine to immunize 20 million Americans by the end of the year,” said Adm. Brett Giroir, who is leading the testing program. “However,” he stressed, “Americans must behave correctly until the vaccine becomes widely available.”

Girouar highlighted two promising vaccines that are currently under review by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), calling them "lifesaving."

“This will end the pandemic,” Giroir said. However, until then, he stressed, it is necessary to take precautions - in particular, wear masks and avoid crowded rooms.

He also said he was convinced that there would be a "smooth, professional transition" from the administration of President Donald Trump to the administration of President-elect Joe Biden on the issue of vaccine distribution.

US chief infectious disease specialist Dr. Anthony Fauci said: "Help is on the way." He also stressed that the first deliveries of the vaccine can be expected by mid-December.

Fauci said health experts are sympathetic to the fatigue of Americans about taking precautions to avoid getting infected. At the same time, he noted that wearing masks and social distancing are very important.

Millions of Americans have significantly scaled down their traditional family celebrations on Thanksgiving, but millions more ignored medical experts' warnings by visiting family members far away.

Fauci stressed that violations of social distancing are fraught with serious dangers.
