WASHINGTON — Biden administration officials are anticipating the supply of coronavirus vaccine to outstrip U.S. demand by mid-May if not sooner, and are grappling with what to do with looming surpluses when vaccine scarcity turns to glut. President Biden has promised enough doses by the end of May to immunize all of the nation’s adults. Of the vaccine doses given globally, about three-quarters have gone to only 10 countries. And global scarcity threatens to grow more acute as nations and regions clamp down on vaccine exports. That action follows the European Union’s decision this week to move emergency legislation that would curb vaccine exports for the next six weeks.
