United States Covid-19: Daily Summary (February 24th)

News

This afternoon, we announced that we’re increasing the weekly vaccine supply to states to 14.5 million doses starting next week, up from the 13.5 million we announced last week.

That's an increase of almost 70% since we took office just over a month ago.
