(Reuters) – Around 4 million Americans received the updated COVID-19 vaccines in September, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, even as some have found it difficult to book appointments or pay for the vaccines.
“The Biden-Harris Administration, through HHS, has been working directly with manufacturers and distributors to ensure that the vaccines are getting to pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and other vaccination sites, including long-term care facilities as quickly as possible,” the spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
