Biden to announce 'all-of-America sprint' to get more vaccinated by July Fourth

President Joe Biden will announce Wednesday that June is a "national month of action" in hopes to get 70% of Americans partially vaccinated from COVID-19 by July Fourth.

President Joe Biden will declare Wednesday that June is a "national month of action" to mobilize an "all-of-America sprint" for more Americans to get vaccinated by July Fourth, to reach his goal of a return to a sense of pre-pandemic "freedom" by the iconic American summer holiday. In an afternoon address on COVID-19, Biden "will outline an all-of-America approach to getting more people vaccinated, including by mobilizing national organizations, community-based and faith-based partners, businesses, social media influencers, celebrities, athletes, colleges, young people, and thousands of volunteers," according to a White House official. Independence Day is the deadline Biden set last month for the country to have at least 70% of adults having received at least one shot. "I'd like to get it 100%, but I think realistically we can get to that place between now and July Fourth," Biden said during White House remarks.
