President Joe Biden dropped some good news this week in the race to end the COVID-19 pandemic. His administration plans on having a vaccine dose for every adult in the country by the end of May.

During the series “Vaccination Nation,” we talk with a panel of experts to answer questions about the vaccine rollout in the U.S.
