Biden like Trump pledges free vaccine once in power

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Friday said that if elected as president he would make Covid-19 vaccines free for all Americans.

Laying out his emergency plan to battle the pandemic, in his home state of Delaware, Biden flayed President Donald Trump for his policies and response to combat the coronavirus pandemic, saying the Republican incumbent has "given up" fighting the virus and has "quit on America."

"Once we have a safe and effective vaccine, it has to be free to everyone, whether or not you're insured," Biden said.

Coronavirus has killed over 220,000 people in America and has had a devastating impact on the country's economy.
Trump, who trails Biden in the polls, has also stated that a vaccine, which he says will be ready in the coming weeks, should be free.
