News Wrap: U.S. vaccination numbers soar with 4 million shots administered Saturday

In our news wrap Monday, an average of 3.1 million COVID vaccines were administered daily over the past week — peaking at a record 4 million on Saturday. Overseas, daily virus infections in India surpassed 100,000 for the first time, making it the second country after the U.S. to reach that benchmark. President Joe Biden doubled down on the need for his $2.3 trillion dollar infrastructure package.
