Biden Announces Increase in COVID-19 Vaccines

VOA News

   The White House announced Tuesday new measures to increase the rate of
   vaccinations against COVID-19, including distributing vaccines to
   select pharmacies across the country.

   "Building on last week's announcement, the Biden-Harris Administration
   will increase overall, weekly vaccine supply to states, Tribes, and
   territories to 10.5-million doses nationwide beginning this week," a
   statement from the White House said, noting that this constitutes a 22%
   increase in vaccine supply since President Joe Biden took office
   January 20.

   The statement also said the federal government would reimburse states
   and territories for supplies like masks and gloves as the U.S.
   continues to battle record numbers of virus infections and deaths.
