White House Secures 600 Million COVID-19 Vaccine Doses

The U.S. has secured additional COVID-19 vaccine doses from vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer. The companies plan to deliver by the doses by the end of July. Together, the companies have committed to sending the U.S. 600 million doses of the vaccine, enough to vaccinate 300 million citizens. The securing of the additional doses puts the U.S. on pace to not only meet, but exceed the Biden administration’s goal of distributing 100 million shots in its first 100 days of holding office.

There is hope that vaccination rates will increase further should the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approve Johnson & Johnson’s one dose vaccine in the near future.
