WATCH: Fauci projects 'anybody in any category' will be able to get COVID-19 vaccine by April

Dr. Anthony Fauci told NBC's Today on Thursday that any American who wants to get vaccinated for the novel coronavirus will have the opportunity to do so in less than two months.

"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," Fauci said.

Fauci cautioned that the actual process of getting vaccines into people's arms would still take many more months, but he was hopeful that "as we get into the middle and end of the summer, we will have accomplished the goal of what we're talking about... the overwhelming majority of people in this country having gotten vaccinated."
