Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has promised to provide free COVID-19 vaccination to all Americans if he is elected as the president in the November 3 election.

The former vice president said, “Once we have a safe and effective vaccine, it has to be free to everyone, whether or not you’re insured.”

Biden also added that if elected, he would direct the federal government to “bulk-purchase as many doses as necessary of the COVID-19 vaccine so we can provide it free to those who are uninsured, under-insured or Medicaid-eligible.”

According to reports, on Friday Biden flayed US President Donald Trump for his policies to combat Coronavirus pandemic that has killed over 220,000 people and has devastated the country’s economy.

Biden said, “President Trump said we’re rounding the corner, it’s going away, we’re learning to live with it. They are quotes. But as I told him last night, we're not learning to live with it. We're learning to die with it. This is a dark winter ahead.”
