President Biden has finalized deals to buy 200 million more COVID-19 vaccine doses from Pfizer and Moderna by the end of July, increasing the likelihood of delivering on his promise to have all Americans inoculated by mid-summer.
Biden announced the latest deals, which are part of a plan he unveiled two weeks ago, during remarks made at the National Institutes of Health on Thursday. We ve now purchased enough vaccine supplies to vaccinate all Americans, Biden said. Now we re working to get those vaccines into the arms of millions of people.
Additionally, Biden said, Pfizer and Moderna have agreed to expedite the delivery of 100 million doses each by a month â moving them up to May instead of June.
