Bad Weather Slows Shots; U.S. Vaccine to Double: Virus Update Bloomberg 2/18/2021 Bloomberg News
(Bloomberg) The U.S. vaccine supply is poised to double in the coming weeks and months, according to an analysis by Bloomberg, allowing a broad expansion of doses administered across the country.
Winter storms in the U.S. continue to slow the vaccination drive, including in New York City, Florida and Puerto Rico. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease doctor, said inoculations have come to a “grinding halt” in some places. Massachusetts said it might send National Guard troops to pick up its next vaccine shipments.
New York state announced a reopening schedule for summer camps, indoor family-entertainment centers and amusement parks. New York City warned of vaccine shortages stemming from the winter storms that have paralyzed large swaths of the nation.
