Biden to announce plans to secure 100M more J&J vaccine doses: report
BY JORDAN WILLIAMS - 03/10/21 07:31 AM EST

President Biden is expected to announce plans on Wednesday to secure 100 million more doses of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, The New York Times reports.

Biden is expected to make the announcement during a meeting with executives from the pharmaceutical giant and Merck, according to the Times. The goal would reportedly be to have enough supply to inoculate children, and to possibly administer booster doses or reformulate the vaccine for coronavirus variants.
