Dr Anthony Fauci: Wear masks, keep distant after vaccine

Dr Anthony Fauci says Americans likely will need to wear masks and stay socially distance to protect mselves from coronavirus after a vaccine becomes available.

US government's leading infectious disease expert tells senators at a hearing that a vaccine won't change conditions overnight.

“ vaccine availability will go a giant step to controlling infection, but you're t going to completely eradicate it or eliminate it,” Fauci says.

It's unusual for a vaccine to be 100% effective, he says. Also, some people are sceptical of vaccinations and may avoid getting a shot.

Even if re's eugh vaccine available for entire US population, it will take time to distribute shots.
