Biden pledges vaccine supply for all adults by May end
President Biden said the United States will have enough coronavirus vaccine doses for every adult by the end of May, two months earlier than expected, and urged states to vaccinate teachers by March to speed school reopenings. Merck will help produce Johnson & Johnson's one shot vaccine, signaling broad national cooperation. The timeline remains uncertain, with inoculation possibly extending into summer depending on delivery and public uptake. Biden also cautioned that a full return to pre pandemic life could be months away, potentially before next year. States were advancing vaccine plans as the plan unfolded.
