3:21Now PlayingThe head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases weighed in Thursday on Russia's announcement that it had developed a coronavirus vaccine. The announcement was met with skepticism from the global scientific community. "Just to say you have a vaccine doesn't mean that you should be administering the vaccine," Dr. Anthony Fauci told PBS NewsHour's Judy Woodruff. "We have half a dozen vaccines, but before you give it to the American public, you want to be absolutely certain that it is A) effective, and B) safe." Fauci also addressed concerns about a federal plan to distribute a coronavirus vaccine when it is ready. "Right now, there are plans that are in place, already manufacturing and getting ready for distribution," he said. "The critical thing that we want to make sure we do is that the trial itself is conducted in a way with as equitable distribution of demographic groups so you know it's safe and effective in everyone."
