Can the US vaccinate 300 million people by the summer?

January is already the month with the most deaths from covid-19 in the US since the pandemic began. As of this Tuesday, more than 79,000 deaths from coronavirus have been reported in the country, which exceeds the grim record set in December for more than 1,000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. These numbers support the growing demand for more vaccines by states. White House coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients informed governors that vaccine allocations would increase by about 16% starting next week, according to a source. The announcement was confirmed Tuesday by President Biden. The president seeks to achieve 100 million injections of the vaccine in his first 100 days of presidency and anticipates 300 million inoculated by September.
