Today ill talk about three specific actions. One increasing vaccine supplies. Two, providing more places for people to get vaccinated. And three, supporting state and local partners in their efforts toll get needles in arms. Let me start with vaccine supply. As i know, this is top of mind for all of us. Last week, we took steps to increase the amount of vaccine going to states, tribes and territories by 16 . Today, we are further increasing that weekly allocation by an additional 5 . So for the next three weeks, we will provide a minimum of 10. 5 million in total dose esper week across all jurisdictions. That means we have increased supply by more than 20 since we took office.

Are democrats on the Progressive Side getting nervous hell compromise too much, or are all saying hell go big even if it means going it alone . Reporter when everybody was said and done last night, it was clear President Biden, this white house wasnt really giving much ground here. They say that the meeting was substantive and productive but at the end of the day he said they had to meet this moment. The decision is whether to go big and go it alone or scale back this
