Pfizer will provide 100 million doses of its coronavirus vaccine if and when it is approved later this year under a \u201chistoric\u201d deal with the government, President Trump said Wednesday, as three states and D.C. scrambled in the meantime to stanch the virus by mandating masks outside the home.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump used a White House briefing to trumpet the nearly $2 billion agreement with Pfizer and its partner, Germany company BioNTech, which includes rights to obtain 500 million more doses and is part of a broader effort to begin administering a vaccine by 2021.<\/p>\n

Federal officials said the shots would be provided to Americans at no cost after a Food and Drug Administration review, which is on track for the fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully the approval process will go very quickly,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cWe think we have a winner there.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said his administration is surging testing to nursing homes, where many COVID-19 deaths have occurred, and sent a \u201cmessage of love\u201d to seniors who are hunkered in their homes due to the dangers the virus poses to them.<\/p>\n

The president took the briefing-room podium solo, without his top scientists, for the second time in as many days after holding his first coronavirus briefing in over two months on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump is highlighting scientific progress even as he acknowledges a surge in infections and hospitalizations across the Sun Belt.<\/p>\n

The president partly blamed the increase on racial-justice protests that erupted in late May and early June. He also blamed social events at bars and beaches, though said states like Arizona are showing some signs of improvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re all doing a good job, they\u2019re very talented people,\u201d Mr. Trump said of hard-hit states with Republican governors.<\/p>\n
