The United States is maintaining a pace of 3 million reported vaccinations per day, as the country marches toward President Joe Biden's goal of 200 million shots given in his first 100 days as president.<\/p>\n
More than 195 million shots have been reported administered since Biden's inauguration as of Monday, with 11 days remaining in the 100-day period.<\/p>\n
The Biden administration had initially announced a target of 100 million shots during that period \u2014 reached after 58 days of the presidency. Biden announced the new goal on March 25, at which point the country had ramped up the vaccination campaign to 2.5 million shots per day and was already on pace to hit the 200 million mark.<\/p>\n
At the current vaccination pace, the final tally of shots given during Biden's first 100 days would land closer to 230 million.<\/p>\n
