Biden moves up deadline to make all adults eligible for COVID-19 vaccine by April 19
When will everyone be vaccinated for COVID-19? Here’s how the vaccine rollout is going
Biden announced last week that 90% of all American adults would be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine by April 19 and directed the federal government to ensure that the same percentage of Americans live within 5 miles of a vaccination site.
Oregon announced Tuesday that all residents age 16 and older can get the vaccine as of April 19, leaving Hawaii as the only state that hasn’t moved up the May 1 deadline.

The USA continues to report a high level of coronavirus cases – 452,636 in the week ending Monday, a 20% increase from two weeks earlier.
The nation has ramped up its pace of daily vaccinations: an average of more than 3 million doses administered a day, compared with less than 1 million in January, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Biden administration announced that the USA hit 4 million doses administered in a 24-hour period, a record.
