Joe Biden’s Morning ReportThe Hill – Biden can find zero Republican Party support for the job plan Republicans don’t think Biden really wants to work with them The lack of cyber funds in Biden’s infrastructure plan raises eyebrows MORE announced earlier this month that his government had already achieved the goal of administering 100 million shots in its first 100 days in office.
After reaching the milestone on March 12, the president raised the vaccine target to 200 million doses in the same period.
“That’s right: 200 million shots in 100 days,” said Biden last month. “I know it is ambitious, double our original goal. But no other country in the world has come close, not even close to what we are doing. I believe we can do that.”
Despite the progress of vaccination, Biden urged the American public to remain vigilant, wear masks and maintain social distance. The president and other public health experts have warned that the progress the United States has made in recent months could easily be undone with the spread of new variants of the coronavirus across the globe.
“Many Americans are acting as if this fight is over. It is not,” said Biden on Friday.
The United States has witnessed a steady increase in COVID-19 cases across the country in recent weeks, with a particularly severe outbreak in Michigan.
