ET Covid-19 Live Updates: U.S. Pharmacies to Ramp Up Vaccinations A federal government program starting Friday will send doses to drugstores across the country. The program will start small, with one million vaccine doses distributed to about 6,500 retail pharmacies. (That news came with a plea for patience: Mr. Biden said logistical hurdles would probably mean that many Americans will still not have been vaccinated by the end of the summer.) Mr. Biden on Thursday lamented the “gigantic” logistical challenge his administration faces. A deal for 200 million additional vaccine doses announced on Thursday helps fulfill a promise that Mr. Biden made in January to ramp up supply to cover more of the population.
