Watch Live: Biden delivers remarks on COVID-19 response and vaccine distribution

Washington — President Biden will deliver remarks on Tuesday on his administration's response to COVID-19 and the state of vaccination distribution. Mr. Biden's comments come ahead of the expected action by the Food and Drug Administration to authorize Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine for administration to adolescents by early next week.

In a speech before a joint session of Congress last week, the president said that 90% of Americans now live within five miles of a vaccination site. More than 40% of adults are now fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
