They are shooting for 1.5 millions a doses a day. We need 600 millionish doses for all 16 plus year old people. That is 400 days. Even if you say first dose only, we need 200 days.

Over promising is dangerous. It would be better to underpromise and over deliver.

This is how you lose credibility...when you over promise and under deliver.

He said that the vaccination will START for people in any category in April, not that everybody will be vaccined in April. Prior to that, they are going through 1A,1B and 1C groups.

He kind of said all the categories may be open then.
Not that that everyone could get vaccinated by then.
It's a short clip. Listen tot the whole thing.

“By the time we get to April, that will be what I would call, for better wording, ‘open season,’ namely, virtually everybody and anybody in any category could start to get vaccinated,” he said Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show.

He cautioned, however, that it will take “several more months” to logistically deliver shots to adult Americans, but predicted that herd immunity could be achieved by late summer.

I would suggest to rewording the title to “April US will complete 1A, 1B and 1C and then a few months after in the summer, everyone should start to get access.”
