President Joe Biden has pledged to boost the rollout of Covid vaccines in the US, and has criticised the speed of the operation under the previous administration.
Covid-19: Why the US hasn't hit vaccine targets so far
It's been "a dismal failure thus far," the president said, and he's committed to overseeing 100 million vaccine doses administered in his first 100 days as president.
So how slowly has the rollout gone?
Jan. 25 - However, the US fell far short of the target set by the Trump administration, to vaccinate 20 million people by the end of 2020.
By 31 December, fewer than three million had received one.
Moncef Slaoui, who had been leading the government's vaccine rollout plan, said at the time: "We know that it should be better, and we're working hard to make it better."
Mr Slaoui has since submitted his resignation at the request of President Biden.
Vaccinations have sped up considerably since the start of the year, more than doubling in the past week compared to the first week of January.
But the US is still some way off the one million doses a day average needed to hit the target set by the incoming Biden administration. more details

Dr. Anthony Fauci: Divisiveness has failed America "in every single way"Jan 24, 2021
"Sunday Morning" senior contributor Ted Koppel talks about the latest efforts to address the coronavirus pandemic with the Biden administration's chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who says the goal of 100 million vaccinations in 100 days is entirely achievable. Fauci also discusses how politicization of public health measures (like wearing masks), mixed messaging from the Trump White House, and claims that COVID-19 is a hoax have thwarted America's efforts to limit the pandemic's toll.
