UPS employees move one of two shipping containers containing the first shipments of the Pfizer and BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine inside a sorting facility at UPS Worldport on December 13, 2020 in Louisville, Kentucky.
Pfizer and the Trump administration announced a new vaccine deal on Wednesday where the pharmaceutical company will provide an additional 100 million doses by the end of July.
This vaccine deal comes as the U.S. faces a potential shortage in shots.
Moderna is also included in the vaccine deal, meaning the U.S. has not secured enough doses to vaccinate all but about 60 million adult Americans who are eligible for the vaccine, reported New York Times.

A federal court ruled Tuesday in favor of a Nevada church over a longtime argument over COVID-19 restrictions with Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak.
Sisolak had a clampdown on worship houses while preventing the spread of COVID-19, said a report from Daily Wire. But the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided that the Nevada church, Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley in Lyon County, Nevada would be allowed to hold in-person services at 25 percent capacity amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
It reversed a lower court ruling that maintained the Nevada church and other worship places should abide by state mandates that only allowed a maximum of people during church gatherings.
