U.S. President Joe Biden has said he will create 100 large-scale vaccination sites across the United States to combat COVID-19.
In the United States, the winter pandemic of Corona 19 has halted, but warnings about the highly contagious mutant virus continue to sound.

U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Camela Harris took a video tour of State Farm Stadium, an American professional football stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which has been transformed into a COVID-19 vaccination site.
State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, is a drive-through system that operates full-time 24 hours a day with no breaks, giving an average of 8,000 to 9,000 doses per day.
President Biden spoke with medical staff and called for more funding from Congress, saying he would open 100 large-scale vaccination sites similar to this facility across the United States over the next few weeks.

However, it is still unknown whether the vaccine supply will be smooth.
President Biden predicted that it would be difficult to achieve COVID-19 collective immunity until this summer in the United States due to a lack of vaccines.
At a press conference on the 25th of last month, the plan, which he said, “I will head toward collective immunity by this summer,” was collected in 11 days.
Furthermore, the spreading mutant virus is becoming a bigger variable.
Peter Hotez, president of the Baylor School of Medicine in the United States, says new variations in the United States are pushing the United States once again into the “Hurricane Eye.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 700 cases of mutant virus have been confirmed in the United States so far.
