There's enough vaccine for 100 million doses pledge, says White House coronavirus coordinator

White House coronavirus coordinator Jeff Zients said he thinks the vaccine supply will be adequate to meet the Biden administration's goal of 100 million shots delivered in 100 days.

“In terms of specific projections from the manufacturers, you know, we know that there is sufficient supply to do the 100 million shots in the 100 days,” Zients told reporters in a briefing ahead of the release of the new “National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness.”

Zients also pledged to clear up confusion about how many vaccines each state will get and when.

“We will work to provide projections on supply. We hear over and over from governors and local leaders that they just don't know what supply is coming and can't plan. We will absolutely across the next few days to get our arms around what's going on, make sure that we are communicating with states and localities, so they can prepare, effectively,” Zients added.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. I love hearing that details as in numbers and projections are already coming after one day. I’m happy.

Real plans have numbers and projections. The lack of those was what told me that trump’s plan was total bullshit. As if I didn’t know that based on where it came from.
