States are eying early April for a noticeable boost in supply.
As vaccine production becomes more steady in the next few weeks, state officials are eying early April for when they expect a noticeable boost in supply.
Many states were headed in that direction anyway, but now have increased pressure -- and support -- from President Joe Biden, who announced on Thursday night that all states should have enough COVID-19 vaccine supply to open up eligibility to all adults by May 1. While governors still don't have hard and fast numbers on what amount of doses they're getting or when, many have adjusted their timelines to account for the good news.
"We anticipate to be sort of the same amount for the next few weeks. But then, you know, in April, at some point, we would expect to see those numbers go back up again, even further. So, this is moving," Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Thursday. The state is confident it will have the supply to open mass vaccination clinics in April, a spokesperson said.
