6:15Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden said Tuesday that he wants all American adults to be eligible for a coronavirus vaccine by April 19, citing a target date all but two states are already set to meet.
“By no later than April 19th in every part of this country, every adult over the age of 18 -- 18 or older -- will be eligible to be vaccinated. No more confusing rules. No more confusing restrictions,” Biden said at the White House.
In anticipation of eligibility opening broadly, he said, the government will provide aid for community groups to transport elderly Americans to vaccination sites. “Seniors, it’s time for you to get vaccinated now,” he said.
Biden also said 150 million doses of vaccine were administered within his first 75 days in office, keeping pace with his accelerated goal of getting 200 million shots into arms by his 100th day in office.
In “another 25 days,” Biden said during a visit to a vaccination site in Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday, “we’ll probably have somewhere in excess of 200 million shots that have been administered.”
He thanked people at the site for receiving shots. “You’re doing the right thing,” he told them, adding: “Everyone’s going to be able to do this before the month is out.”
