United States Expands Vaccine Eligibility

Vaccine eligibility in the United States has been expanded, as of today, all Americans 16 years and older are now eligible for the vaccine. Earlier this month, President Biden moved up the deadline for states to make all American adults eligible for the vaccine to April 19th from the original deadline of May 1st. The White House announced a media blitz to raise awareness about vaccine eligibility. The blitz will include more than 30 local media interviews across the country. There will also be a series of national media hits that feature the nations top doctors. Last evening, President Biden and former President Barack Obama joined a plethora of celebrities to urge Americans to get vaccinated during an hour long television program. Biden will also tape a PSA to air on social media and Vice President Kamala Harris will promote eligibility on her social media platforms as well. She is in Greensboro, North Carolina today for an interview with ‘Carolina Peacemaker’, an African-American newspaper as part of the blitz. Also, Dr. Anthony Fauci will tape a series of short videos for Snapchat.
