• Enhanced production among manufacturers and officials means the American Covid-19 vaccine supply should double within a month. [Bloomberg / Drew Armstrong and Tom Randall]
• The US is currently administering 1.6 million vaccine doses per day. That should rise to 4.5 million by the summer — and White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients’s estimate that all Americans can get vaccinated by the end of July could happen even sooner. [Axios / Caitlin Owens]
• So far, with the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, 1.1 million shots are being delivered per day. Between increased production and the inclusion of Johnson & Johnson's vaccine, that figure is expected to be 3 million by the end of the month and 3.3 million by April. [New York Times / David Leonhardt]
• Thus far, about 42.6 million Americans, or 12.9 percent of the population, have received at least one shot — 16.6 million are fully vaccinated. [Washington Post]
• Earlier this week, Dr. Anthony Fauci said he expects most Americans to have vaccine access by late April or early May, depending on the speed with which the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine gets authorized and distributed. [CNBC / Noah Higgins-Dunn]
• Federal vaccine distribution is already ramping up. This week, the White House increased states’ weekly supply by 20 percent and doubled the number of shots going to pharmacies. [NPR / Vanessa Romo]
• In addition to administration, vaccine confidence will now become a greater challenge. Vaccine doubt is greater among Republicans — only 51 percent say they would get the vaccine if it became immediately available, compared to 91 percent of Democrats. [CNN / Harry Enten]
