President Joe Biden addressed the people of the United States, promising that his administration will do everything possible to ensure that every American has the opportunity to receive the coronavirus vaccine by May 1. The President also announced the beginning of a new stage in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and said that the country would move closer to resuming “normal life” – such as before the pandemic began – in four months, by the US Independence Day, which is celebrated on July 4.
“The Independence Day, which we can celebrate after this long, difficult year, will be truly special,” said the head of the White House. – After all, we will celebrate not only our independence as a nation but also the fact that we are beginning to be more and more independent from this virus. But for this to happen, we must not lose our vigilance. “
In the seven weeks since January 21, the day the president announced a new comprehensive strategy to tackle the pandemic. At the same time, US residents received more than 81 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines.
Biden has pledged that his administration will do everything in the coming weeks to ensure that every American adult is eligible for the vaccine no later than May 1. Appropriate assignments and instructions will be issued to the authorities of all states, territories, and tribal communities within the United States.
In addition, in addition to boosting vaccine supplies, the Biden administration will increase the number of locations where Americans can vaccinate. In the near future, the authorities will supply millions of doses of vaccines to 950 public health centers, over 20,000 pharmacies, and almost 600 federal mass vaccination centers.
The administration will also increase the number of qualified professionals who are able to vaccinate – for example, dentists and medical college students will have the right to administer vaccines. The Department of Health and Human Services will launch a dedicated website for volunteers to help lead the campaign to vaccinate Americans against COVID-19.
