In the NPR interview, Fauci said that in addition to administering the vaccine as quickly as possible, the U.S. would still have to implement public health measures to prevent the surges of infections throughout the country. On Monday, the same day the vaccination campaign began, the U.S. death toll from covid-19 topped 300,000. As of Saturday, the country had reported more than 17.6 million infections.

“It’s bittersweet that we have the beginning of what will ultimately be the end game of this pandemic,” Fauci said.
