Biden hopes to bring forward the deadline for adults to qualify for vaccines

President Biden is due to announce on Tuesday that he is anticipating the date for adults to become eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine until April 19.

Biden last month advised states, tribes and territories to ensure that all adults are eligible for vaccination by May 1.

But sources confirmed to Fox News that the president is postponing that date by two weeks.

Biden set a goal to give 100 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in his first 100 days in office – a goal he doubled to 200 million doses on his 100th day.

But on Tuesday, Biden must say that the United States achieved 150 million rounds of fire in the first 75 days of his government.

Biden will also say that more than 75 percent of people over 65 have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, with 55 percent in that age group receiving both doses, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
