`Biden: 90% of US adults to be eligible for vaccination by April 19
`
`President Joe Biden said 90% of adults in the U.S. will be eligible for Covid-19 shots by April
`19 and will be able to get them within five miles of their home under an expanded vaccination
`plan he announced Monday.
`
`Roughly 40,000 pharmacies will distribute the vaccine, up from 17,000, Biden said, and the
`U.S. is setting up a dozen more mass vaccination sites by April 19.
`
`“For the vast, vast majority of adults, you won’t have to wait until May 1. You’ll be eligible for
`your shot on April 19,” Biden said during a press conference on the government’s Covid-19
`response and vaccination efforts around the country.
`
`A few weeks ago, Biden called on states, tribes and territories to make all U.S. adults eligible
`for vaccination no later than May 1. To date, 31 states have said they will open up eligibility to
`all adults by April 19, according to the White House.

`
`Biden is pushing to have 200 million Covid vaccinations administered within his first 100
`days in office. As of Friday, 100 million had been given since Biden was inaugurated. That
`benchmark — which Biden set as his original target — was reached on his 59th day in office.
`
`As of last week, the pace of U.S. vaccinations has been averaging about 2.5 million doses per
`day. If that rate is maintained, Biden’s 200 million target would be hit in about five weeks, or
`around April 23 — a full week before Biden would mark 100 days in the White House.
`
`Even as the pace of vaccinations picks up, Covid-19 cases are on the rise.
`
`The U.S. is recording a weekly average of 63,239 new Covid-19 cases per day, a 16%
`increase compared with a week ago, according to a CNBC analysis of data compiled by Johns
`Hopkins University. Daily cases are now growing by at least 5% in 30 states and D.C.
`
`Earlier Monday, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Rochelle
`Walensky, issued a dire warning to reporters. She said she’s worried the nation was facing
`“impending doom” as daily Covid-19 cases begin to rebound once again, threatening to send
`more people to the hospital.
`
`“I’m going to pause here, I’m going to lose the script, and I’m going to reflect on the recurring
`feeling I have of impending doom,” Walensky said during a press briefing. “We have so much
`to look forward to, so much promise and potential of where we are and so much reason for
`hope, but right now I’m scared.”
`
`During Biden’s press conference, the president asked Americans to “mask up,” saying it is
`their “patriotic duty.”
`
`“We’re making progress on vaccinations, but cases are rising and the virus is spreading in too
`many places still,” he said. “That’s why today I’m taking these steps to make our American

`turn-around story, our vaccination program, move even faster.”
`
`“The progress we’re making is a significant testament to what we can do when we work
`together as Americans, we still need everyone to do their part,” he added. “We still are in a
`war with this deadly virus. We’re bolstering our defenses, but this war is far from won.
`Together we have so much to be proud of in the past 10 weeks.”
`
`When asked by a reporter whether some states should pause their reopening efforts, Biden
`simply said, “yes.”
`
`As part of Biden’s goal to vaccinate more Americans, the White House said he will also
`announce a new effort to fund community organizations to provide transportation and
`assistance for the nation’s most at-risk seniors and people with disabilities. That builds on the
`$10 billion investment to expand access to vaccines in the hardest-hit communities, the
`White House said.
