The Trump administration's vaccine initiative, Operation Warp Speed invested billions in the development, production and distribution of doses of coronavirus vaccine. Collectively, states are running north of two million COVID-19 tests, with large states like California reporting 300,000 tests a day and more rural running thousands a day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the U.S. had administered 2,127,143 first doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country as of Monday morning and had distributed 11,445,175 doses. 'The two million number is probably an underestimate, we distributed to the states 10.8 million doses,' Admiral Giroir told Good Morning America on Monday. 'We're going to distribute another 4.7 million this week, so by the end of this week, in the hands of the states [will be] over 15.5 million doses.'
