"Hundreds of millions of doses will be available every month, and we expect to have enough vaccines for every American by April," Trump told a news conference on Friday.
He said distribution of a vaccine will begin within 24 hours of it being approved by federal health regulators.
"In a short time we'll have a safe and effective vaccine and we'll defeat the virus," Trump said.
He has previously said a vaccine could be approved in October, an ambitious timeline that some experts have said is unlikely to be met.
