Claim: Photo of a vaccine developed by US scientists for COVID-19.
Fact-check: Photo of a COVID-19 diagnostic test kit is being falsely shared as COVID-19 vaccine - FACTLY
Verdict: the photo shows a covid-19 diagnostic test kit developed by sugentech, a south korean based company. it is not a vaccine. as on 23 march 2020, there is no vaccine for covid-19. also, trump announced fda's approval of a coronavirus 'test', not a vaccine, developed by a company 'roche' to increase and accelerate the country's capacity to test for the virus. hence the claim made in the post is false.
