President Trump said Thursday he would prepare the U.S. military to disburse COVID-19 vaccines when they are ready.
"We're mobilizing our military and other forces, but we're mobilizing our military on the basis that we do have a vaccine," Trump said in an interview with Fox Business's Maria Bartiromo.
"You know, it's a massive job to give this vaccine. Our military is now being mobilized so at the end of the year we're going to be able to give it to a lot of people very, very rapidly," he added.
Trump said the mobilization process for distributing the virus is "starting now" to get a head start once the vaccine is finished, adding, "We will have a tremendous force because assuming we get it, then you have to distribute it."
