"None of the vaccines at this point appear like they'll work with a single dose," Gates said. "That was the hope at the very beginning."
The billionaire philanthropist, who has donated $300 million towards the global effort to combat COVID-19 through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, told "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell that deploying a coronavirus vaccine will require a global effort.
