The United States is expected to approve the low-cost AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine in April, a senior official says — more than three months after Britain’s green light on Monday.

Moncef Slaoui, the chief advisor to Operation Warp Speed, the military-led US effort for vaccines, does not question Britain’s move but tells reporters that US trials will be complete for approval “sometime in early April.”
