United States Covid-19: Daily Summary (March 1st)

News

The more people that get vaccinated, the faster we will beat this pandemic. That’s why one of my first goals is to administer 100 million COVID-19 vaccine shots in our first 100 days.

I’m proud to say we’re over halfway to our goal and weeks ahead of schedule.
