100 million shots in 100 days will be completed this week instead of April 30th (we're at 97 million administered; tomorrow is 50 days) —Now 1 in 4 adults, 61% ≥ 65 year olds have had at least 1 dose —At current 2.2M/d, would be >210 M shots in 100 days (+ hope we can rev up)

Important to remember that flu #vaccine can reduce flu severity and could save your life and prevent hospitalization. If you still get flu, there are also antiviral medicines that can help. xitter.cf/KPRCRachel/status/9513…
