REUTERS: The United States has administered 101,128,005 doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country and distributed 133,337,525 doses as of Friday morning, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

But the goal was quickly revised up to 150 million shots in the first 100 days, and this week Biden said there will be enough vaccine to cover the whole adult population of 258 million by the end of May. Some fifty million doses of the Pfizer shot have been administered, 49 million of Moderna's, 900,000 of Johnson & Johnson's one-shot vaccine, and a further 100,000 that haven't been identified.

The US therefore accounts for almost 30 per cent of those despite making up just over four percent of the world population.
