The Biden Administration Has Increased the Weekly COVID-19 Vaccine Supply to 13.5M

President Biden’s COVID-19 czar Jeff Zients told governors on Tuesday that the weekly vaccine supply going out to states is increasing by more than 20% to 13.5 million doses this week, Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary, announced.

Psaki also said the supply going directly to pharmacies will double to 2 million this week.

Before taking office, Biden promised to improve and streamline Trump’s Operation Warp Speed and pledged to get 100 million vaccine doses into arms in the first 100 days of his administration.

Tuesday’s announcement followed a letter from the National Governors Association sent on Monday, asking Biden “for enhanced reporting and coordination between federal and state governments on COVID-19 vaccine distribution efforts.”
