<human>:  I heard a lot about the COVID-19 vaccine, when will it be available to the public?
<bot>: It is difficult to give an exact time frame for when the COVID-19 vaccine will be available to the public. Governments and public health officials around the world are still determining who should receive the vaccine first and how it should be distributed. However, it is expected that the vaccine will be made available to the public in 2021.
