Biden in Speech to Announce All Americans Will Be Eligible for COVID Vaccine by May 1, Small Gatherings by July 4
President Joe Biden at 8 PM Thursday night will announce all adult Americans will be able to get the coronavirus vaccine by May 1, after he has purchased hundreds of millions more doses of the drug since taking office just six weeks ago.
The President is also expected to announce Americans can look forward to being able to gather in small groups by July 4, CNBC reports, citing an administration official.
“We believe that if we do our part we’ll be in a much better place by Independence Day, and we can start to resume more of our normal activities,” that official says.
Tonight, President Biden will announce the deployment of more than 4,000 active duty troops to support vaccination efforts, bringing the total to over 6,000 in all.
