President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced the federal government will buy 100 million more Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines.

“There is light at the end of this dark tunnel of this past year, but we cannot let our guard down now or assume victory is inevitable. Together we’re going to get through this pandemic and usher in a healthier and more hopeful future,” Biden said at a White House event alongside the CEOs of Johnson & Johnson and Merck. Merck is helping manufacture the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
