The White House Admits That It Will Fall Short of Biden’s July 4 Vaccination Goal

The White House acknowledged on Tuesday that the United States is expected to fall short of President Biden’s stated goal of vaccinating 70 percent of American adults with at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by July 4.

White House coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients said during a coronavirus briefing that the administration has vaccinated 70 percent of those 30 years old and up with at least one dose and is on track to meet the 70 percent goal among those 27 and older by July 4.

Zients said, however, that it will take “a few extra weeks” to get 70 percent of all adults 18 and over with at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, pointing to a greater challenge of convincing those between 18 and 26 to get vaccinated. He did not offer a specific target date.
