President Joe Biden says he anticipates that coronavirus vaccines will be available to anyone in the nation by Spring -- an ambitious target that can only be met with sharp increases in the current pace of inoculations.
The U.S. is currently administering about 1.2 million shots per day, data compiled by Bloomberg show, and Biden said Monday he expects that will soon reach 1.5 million doses. He said the administration has “commitments from some of the producers that they will in fact produce more vaccine,” though didn’t say which companies.
