A member of a federal vaccine advisory panel said Thursday that the United States should be holding mass COVID-19 vaccination events to get more people vaccinated, amid concerns vaccinations aren’t happening quickly enough.

While billions of dollars from the government helped produce vaccines in record time, the vaccination part “is equally hard and is equally going to require this Manhattan Project-like response,” Dr. Paul Offit said.
