U.S. to accomplish Biden’s goal of 200 million doses before its time limit

The White House says that President Joe Biden’s target to administer 200 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine shots will be accomplished by the end of this week.

Biden is set to make a speech where he will announce the same accomplishment.

My Administration is working around the clock to get America vaccinated as quickly as possible. Tune in as I deliver an update on our progress and the state of vaccinations. https://t.co/jxOtlPOzsW

The achievement comes a little ahead of its time, as Biden will be marking his 100^th day in the office by the end of next week and when he came into the office on January 20^th, he had initially vowed to administer 100 million vaccine shots before his 100^th day. Later, due to the large supply of vaccines, he doubled his own target.

“I know it’s ambitious, twice our own goal,” Biden said. “But no other country has come even close – not even close – to what we are doing.”

The celebratory mood was weakened in the White House as there was a surge in the cases.

However, the death rate remains low nationwide as a result of the high vaccination rate among the elderly.
