The United States has distributed nearly 3 million doses of the new COVID-19 vaccine, and more are on their way to states across the country, an Army General said Saturday.

“What a remarkable feat, and we should all be proud of what has happened,” Gen. Gustave Perna, chief operations officer for Operation Warp Speed, told reporters at a press conference.
