New Efforts Will Increase Walk-In Appointments, Pop-Up Clinics, and Mobile Units to Make Vaccines More Readily Available to Every Person in the U.S.
Additional Funding Going to States and Rural Communities to Support Vaccine Education and On-the-Ground Outreach Efforts
As we continue our path out of the COVID-19 pandemic, today, President Biden will announce a goal for 70% of the U.S. adult population to have one vaccine shot and 160 million U.S. adults to be fully vaccinated by July 4
th so that life can start to look closer to normal.
In the next phase of the vaccination campaign, the Administration will make getting vaccinated more accessible than ever before, continuing to increase people’s confidence in the vaccines and ensuring that everyone is reached in the response. Today, the President will announce that he is directing tens of thousands of pharmacies in the federal pharmacy program to offer walk-in appointments; redirecting Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) resources to support more pop-up clinics, smaller community vaccination sites, and more mobile clinics; shipping new allocations of the vaccine to rural health clinics across the country; and providing additional funding to help communities do outreach and engagement to help get people vaccinated.
