Drugmakers Secure $2.1 Billion Vaccine Deal With U.S.

Dr. Jennifer Ashton, OB-GYN, ABC News chief health and medical correspondent, and author of 'The New Normal,' discusses the latest coronavirus vaccine developments and pregnant women's concerns about getting vaccinated.

Dr. Jen Caudle, Family Physician and Associate Professor at Rowan University, joined Wake Up With Cheddar to discuss the implications of a third COVID-19 vaccine hitting the U.S. market. Dr. Caudle also clears up misinformation and confusion surrounding the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

President Joe Biden provided a new May timeline for coronavirus vaccinations this week with officials saying the process of administering vaccines to all Americans will likely go into the summer. The timeline depends on the government's ability to deliver the doses, as well as Americans' willingness to get the shots. The improved outlook comes as the President announced a partnership between Merck and Johnson and Johnson to make the single-dose vaccine. To discuss, we were joined by Dr. William Schaffner, Professor of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt Medical Center.
