News Wrap: White House task force reports increase in COVID-19 vaccinations

In our news wrap Wednesday, the White House COVID task force reported an average of 1.7 million Americans are being vaccinated daily as President Biden called on labor leaders to endorse his $1.9 trillion relief package. Also, the U.N. secretary general pleaded for a more equitable distribution of COVID vaccines worldwide, and NATO leaders urged the U.S. to consult before leaving Afghanistan.
