Covid-19 live updates: A record 4 million people in U.S. received a vaccine on Saturday
Here are some significant developments:
- The Biden administration said the United States will have enough coronavirus vaccine doses despite problems at a Baltimore manufacturing facility that will now be taken over by parent company Johnson & Johnson. More than 106 million people have received at least one coronavirus vaccine dose in the country.
- Experts disagree on whether the United States is on the cusp of a “fourth wave” of infections or seeing the last gasps of the 14-month crisis.
- India on Sunday reported more than 100,000 new cases of the coronavirus, a grim measure achieved by only the United States and briefly Brazil, and a sign that the infections in the nation of 1.3 billion could be spinning out of control.
- Wisconsin’s vaccination program is a success, buoying the profile of Andrea Palm, once its top health official and now a candidate for No. 2 at the Department of Health and Human Services.
- About 555,000 people have died in the United States of the coronavirus, and reported new cases of infection are rising steadily. There was a 5 percent increase over the past week.
