The United States has surpassed 200 million vaccines against the corona virus used, confirmed by President Joe Biden, Fulfilled his promise to break this number of immunizations in the first 100 days he was in office.

“We reached 200 million vaccines on the 92nd day of office,” Biden said It is considered an “incredible achievement for the nation” because it would have taken “more than 220 days, more than seven and a half months” to achieve this figure, given the vaccination rate in the country when he took office..
