At his site

US population is about 3.3 x 10^8 persons and that quoted dose of 3.0 x 10^-1 ml is 3 x 10^-7 cubic meters. [...since (1 cm)^3 = (10^-2 m)^3 = 10^-6 m^3)]
Multiply: (3.3 x 10^8 doses) * (3.0 x 10^-7 m^3/dose) = 10 x 10^1 m^3
About 100 cubic meters.
That's the volume of the diluted vaccine that's actually injected. Look at the FDA guidelines at:
https://www.fda.gov/media/144413/download
...and you'll see that each vial contains 0.45 ml of frozen suspension that will produce 6 doses, making each dose 0.075 mL of undiluted suspension. So the volume of vaccine as shipped is about 0.3 / 0.075 = 1/4 of the injected volume.
So, if you're looking for the volume of vaccine that is produced and shipped, that's "only" 100/4 = 25 m^3.
