The U.S. on Friday administered the most vaccines in a day so far, with nearly 2.4 million shots given, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data Saturday.
The news comes as the U.S. authorized a third COVID-19 vaccine Saturday evening. A Food and Drug Administration advisory committee voted unanimously Friday to recommend authorizing Johnson & Johnson s vaccine candidate for use in adults, paving the way for an emergency-use authorization.
Meanwhile, the House approved President Joe Biden s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package early Saturday, a key step for a measure that would provide millions of Americans $1,400 stimulus payments, ramp up vaccine distribution and extend unemployment aid through the summer. The measure now heads to the Senate where it faces a rocky path in the evenly divided chamber.
