Trump says administration is 'looking at' making coronavirus vaccine free
By Morgan Chalfant - 05/15/20 05:55 PM EDT
President Trump told reporters at the White House Friday that his administration is “looking at†making coronavirus vaccines free to the public.
“We’re looking at that actually,†Trump told reporters before departing for Camp David when asked if he thought vaccines should be free. He did not offer his personal opinion on the matter.
The Trump administration has faced pressure from progressives to ensure the affordability of any eventual vaccine for the coronavirus, which has sickened more than 1.4 million Americans and killed more than 87,000 since the first known case was identified in January.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) pressed top Trump administration health officials during a hearing earlier this week on whether the vaccine would be available to any American regardless of their income.
