Biden Aims to Vaccinate 70% of American ults by July 4
President Joe Biden on Tuesday set a new vaccination goal to deliver at least one shot to 70% of ult Americans by July Fourth as he tackles vexing problem of winning over “doubters” and those unmotivated to get inoculated.

Demand for vaccines has dropped off markedly nationwide, with some states leaving more than half ir available doses unordered. Aiming to make it easier to get shots, Biden called for states to make vaccines available on a walk-in basis and he will direct many pharmacies to do likewise.
His ministration for first time also is moving to shift doses from states with weaker demand to areas with stronger interest in shots. "You do need to get vaccinated,” Biden said from White House. “Even if your chance of getting seriously ill is low, why take risk? It could save your life or lives of somebody you love.”

Biden’s goal equates to delivering at least first shot to 181 million ults and fully vaccinating 160 million. It's a tacit acknowledgment of declining interest in shots.
Alrey more than 56% of American ults have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and nearly 105 million are fully vaccinated. U.S. is currently ministering first doses at a rate of about 965,000 per day — half rate of three weeks ago, but almost twice as fast as needed to meet Biden's target.

“I’d like to get it 100%, but I think realistically we can get to that place between now and July Fourth," Biden said of his new goal.
