Biden Will Reach His Goal of 100M Administered Coronavirus Vaccines Ahead of Schedule
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is on track to meet his goal of administering 100 million Covid-19 shots in his first 100 days in office, White House coronavirus coordinator Jeffrey Zients said Wednesday.
Biden had created some confusion around his vaccination goal after he said in his second week in office that he was eyeing a more ambitious goal of 1.5 million vaccine shots a day, forcing some members of his administration to walk back the number.
“We’ve been making steady progress over the past few weeks: getting more vaccine supply, getting more vaccinators on the ground, and creating more places to get vaccinated. We are on track to meet the president’s goal of delivering 100 million shots in his first 100 days,” Zients said at a Wednesday press briefing.
