Pfizer and the Trump administration announced a new vaccine deal on Wednesday where the pharmaceutical company will provide an additional 100 million doses by the end of July.
This vaccine deal comes as the U.S. faces a potential shortage in shots.
Moderna is also included in the vaccine deal, meaning the U.S. has not secured enough doses to vaccinate all but about 60 million adult Americans who are eligible for the vaccine, reported New York Times.
