The United States vaccinated around 700,000 people against COVID-19 per day over the last several days and is set on a course to achieve 1 million vaccinations on a daily basis soon, health officials said Tuesday.

“Only four weeks into our launch, we have gained confidence in the integrity of our distribution system, which has now successfully delivered to over 14,000 locations, essentially, without a hitch. Over the last several days, we’ve averaged around 700,000 reported vaccinations each day, and we are on track to hit 1 million per day in a week to 10 days time,” Health Secretary Alex Azar told reporters during a press conference in Washington.
