According to the White House, more than 200 million eligible Americans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The U.S. administered more than 1 million vaccine doses Friday, marking the third day in a row more than a million shots were distributed, according to a White House official.
Cyrus Shahpar, the White House’s COVID-19 data director, said more than 1.05 million doses were given Friday, including 526,000 first shots.
Shahpar noted that 200 million Americans have now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The U.S. has already fallen short of several vaccine goals, including the aim to have at least 70% of American adults vaccinated by July 4, and a commitment to send 80 million COVID-19 vaccine doses abroad by the end of June.
