The Biden Administration has ordered 100 million more doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, the U.S. was to have enough approved vaccines delivered by mid-May to cover every adult and enough for 400 million people total by the end of July. Biden has tweeted that every adult in the US will be able to get vaccinated starting May 1st. It is likely the US will have a surplus of vaccines, White house aides have explained that it is better to be overprepared in the case of any unforeseen circumstances, and also adds that the extra vaccines could possibly be used on children, given the FDA approves it. It's still unknown whether the current vaccines will require booster shots, so in the case that this is required, the US would benefit from a vaccine surplus.
