WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump
said on Friday he expects a coronavirus vaccine to be available
for the entire population as soon as April, amid a crush of new
infections of the deadly disease that has pushed daily case
counts to record highs.

In his first public remarks in over a week following his
election loss to Democratic challenge Joe Biden, Trump also said
he expects an emergency use authorization for Pzifer's
vaccine "extremely soon."
