Distributing a vaccine or vaccines for the coronavirus will be one of the biggest challenges the next president faces, Democratic nominee Joe Biden said Wednesday.

“The development of a vaccine is only part of the battle. Distributing a vaccine to the entire population is as complex and challenging as one of the most sensitive military operations,” he said in prepared remarks in Wilmington, Del., after he received a briefing from a panel of vaccine experts.

He added: “If I’m elected president, I’ll begin by implementing an effective distribution plan from the minute I take office.”
