"The idea that this can be done and we can get to herd immunity much
before the end of next -- this summer, is -- is very difficult,"
Biden told CBS news in an interview.
As of Sunday morning the United States has administered 41,210,937
doses of COVID-19 vaccines and distributed 59,307,800 doses, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
