On getting the Covid-19 vaccine administered: After I promised we would get 100 million Covid-19 shots into people s arms in 100 days, we will have provided over 220 million Covid shots in those 100 days, Biden said. We re marshaling every federal resource. We ve gotten vaccinations to nearly 40,000 pharmacies and over 700 community health centers where the poorest of the poor can be reached. We re setting up community vaccination sites, developing mobile units to get the hard to reach communities. Today, 90% of Americans now live within five miles of a vaccination site.

“I see Liebengood’s picture on the wall and all these cards from all the kids in the area and senators. But to me, he’s on vacation. He’s on his time off. He’s coming back,” says the officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity to talk candidly about the strains on the force.
