As of Thursday, the United States has achieved President Biden’s goal of administering 200 million vaccine doses within his first 100 days in the office.

Following which earlier today, Biden tweeted the efforts his administration has put in to get the Americans vaccinated at the earliest. He compared the current statistics, relating to the vaccination programs, to that of the January stats, which was before they took the office.

In his tweet, one of the slides assured that over 90% Americans will have a vaccination site within 5 miles of their home.

Biden claimed that since they took the office, the vaccine supply has reached 30,000,000 doses per week which are around 250% higher than that of January.

More than 50% of adults and around 80% of elderly people have received at least one dose, which was at 1% and 8% respectively in January.

Last week, Biden had announced that all Americans above the age of 16 are eligible for vaccination.
