Everyone 16 years or older can now input their ZIP code at www.vaccines.gov / www.vacunas.gov or text their ZIP code to GETVAX (438829) / VACUNA (822862) to get help making a vaccine appointment at a nearby location. “Every American adult is eligible right now for a vaccine that will save their lives,” Beyer said. “The Biden-Harris Administration is working hard to support national vaccination efforts, with a goal of getting 70 percent of Americans at least one dose by July 4. That goal is achievable, and if we meet it Americans will see substantial progress towards a return to normalcy. It all hinges on as many of us as possible doing our part and getting vaccinated, encouraging our friends and family to get vaccinated, and sharing resources that will help keep the country moving towards herd immunity.”
