Biden: US Buying 200 Million More COVID-19 Vaccine Doses

VOA News

   President Joe Biden said Tuesday the United States was buying 200
   million more doses of COVID-19 vaccine to inoculate nearly the entire
   U.S. population of 300 million people by early fall.

   The U.S. has purchased 100 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine
   and 100 million of the Moderna vaccine. They will be delivered by the
   end of summer or early fall, Biden said. With this latest order, the
   U.S. will have purchased 600 million doses.

   "Not in hand yet, but ordered," Biden said. "We expect these additional
   200 million doses to be delivered this summer."
