Biden says US will have enough jabs to vaccinate all adults by end of May

White House announces accelerated timeline after brokering production deal between J&J and Merck

The US will have enough coronavirus vaccine doses for every adult by the end of May, Joe Biden said on Tuesday, thanks in part to an unusual production deal between two of the country’s largest drugmakers.

Merck will manufacture doses of Johnson & Johnson’s Covid-19 vaccine after receiving $269m from the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority to adapt its manufacturing facilities to produce Covid-19 medicines and shots.

The US president said on Tuesday the deal would accelerate the production of Covid-19 vaccines so that enough doses would be available to inoculate every adult within 90 days — two months earlier than previously announced.

Biden said: “I want to thank Johnson & Johnson and Merck for stepping up and being good corporate citizens during this national crisis. Here’s what all this means: we’re now on track to have enough vaccine supply for every adult in America by the end of May.”

The Biden administration helped engineer the deal between the rival companies after J&J, which was granted an emergency use authorisation for its vaccine at the weekend, was beset by production delays.
