WASHINGTON -- Senior Biden administration officials told U.S.
governors on Tuesday that the administration is increasing its
weekly vaccine allocations to states, according to people with
knowledge of the matter.
On a call with governors Tuesday afternoon, officials said they
planned to increase the allocations by 16% to about 10 million
doses a week from about 8.6 million, the people said. Of that, 5.7
million doses will be Moderna Inc.'s vaccine and 4.3 million will
be Pfizer Inc.'s vaccine, the people said.
In a bid to give the states certainty and allow them to better

at least three weeks, one of the people said.
The White House didn't immediately provide comment on the
call.
The call with governors included remarks from Centers for

House coronavirus coordinator Jeffrey Zients, the people said.
