Biden sets new target for all adults to be eligible for Covid-19 vaccine
Last month during his first primetime address, Biden said his administration would direct state, local, and tribal governments to make all American adults eligible for Covid-19 vaccines by May 1. However, Biden on Tuesday moved up that deadline to April 19.
A White House official said Biden updated his deadline because states have been ramping up their vaccination programs faster than expected after seeing increases in vaccine shipments. Biden last week said at least 90% of American adults would be eligible for Covid-19 vaccines by April 19.
