“The Biden administration purchased an additional 200 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine to prepare for potential additional vaccine needs in the US,” CNN reports.

“Despite the slowing demand for Covid-19 vaccines, the administration official said the additional shots would be needed for children under 12, pending approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, and the possibility of booster shots for vaccinated individuals.”

My guess, this is mostly for boosters.
And the sooner they decide we need boosters, the better. Pfizer recommends a booster 6 months after the second dose.
