| President Joe Biden announced Monday that 90% of adults will be eligible to get a coronavirus vaccine within the next three weeks as well as have a vaccination site within five miles of where they live.
Biden also announced that the U.S. will increase the number of pharmacies participating in the federal pharmacy vaccination program from the current 17,000 locations to 40,000.
Additionally, the White House said the federal government “will stand up a dozen more mass vaccination sites by April 19,” which includes two new sites in Gary, Indiana, and St. Louis, which were announced earlier Monday. The administration will also establish a new transportation program in partnership with community organizations to get at-risk seniors and people with disabilities access to the vaccines.
The president announced on March 11 that he would order states to open up vaccine eligibility to all U.S. adults by May 1. |
