November target for COVID-19 vaccine unrelated to U.S. election, HHS Secretary Azar says

(Reuters) - A targeted timeline of November for distribution of a potential coronavirus vaccine has “nothing to do with elections” as it was set by public health officials, U.S. Health Secretary Alex Azar said in an interview with CBS on Thursday.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked state public health officials to prepare vaccine distribution to high-risk groups as soon as late October or November, according to documents published by the agency on Wednesday.

This timing has taken on political importance as U.S. President Donald Trump seeks re-election in November.

“Nobody involved in this process is ever going to compromise on making sure that a product someone puts in their body is safe and effective,” Azar said.
