As it's a one-dose vaccine, with Johnson & Johnson, more people can be vaccinated with fewer doses. The Biden administration has promised that U.S. states will be receiving 15.2 million coronavirus vaccine doses per week. Biden applauded Johnson & Johnson and Merck for being 'good corporate citizens.' She said Tuesday that the supply increase would be from 14.5 to 15.2 million doses per week, up from 8.6 million doses when Biden took office. She said that an additional 2.8 million doses of the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine would be distributed, for a total of 18 million doses this week.
