January 4th, local time, Monsef Slaughter, the head of the coronavirus vaccine at the White House, admitted that vaccination efforts across the United States were lagging behind.
In an interview with CNN, he also said that as of Monday morning, 4.2 million people in the United States had been vaccinated with the first dose of the novel coronavirus and 13 million doses had been distributed. But the number is far from enough.
Although the federal government has repeatedly promised that 20 million people will be vaccinated with the first dose by the end of the year.
Sloy said that the vaccination of the coronavirus has been carried out in the United States for two and a half weeks, which is indeed slower than originally planned.
But if states seek help from the Commonwealth, they will do their best to help.
