US does not have reserve stockpile of Covid-19 vaccines: health chief Azar

The United States does not have a reserve stockpile of Covid-19 vaccines, but it is confident that there will be enough produced to provide a second dose for people, US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar has said.

“We now have enough confidence that our ongoing production will be quality and available to provide the second dose for people. So we’re not sitting on a reserve anymore. We’ve made that available to the states to order,” Azar said.
