President Joe Biden visits a vaccination center in Virginia near Washington, DC.

They said they were doing an important job and encouraged the people involved.

Citizens who were vaccinated were asked to go home and recommend them to friends and family.

[조 바이든 / 미국 대통령 : 당신은 옳은 일을 하고 있고 정말 중요한 일을 하고 있습니다. 그리고 당신이 집에 돌아갔을 때, 모든 친구를 만나서 그들이 할 수 있을 때 주사를 맞으라고 말해 주세요.]

President Biden then presented a related discourse at the White House.

It is said that all adults will be eligible for vaccinations by the 19th.

This is two weeks ahead of the original goal of May 1st.

[조 바이든 / 미국 대통령 : 목표 날짜를 5월 1일에서 4월 19일로 전국적으로 변경한다는 것을 오늘 발표합니다. 그것은 늦어도 4월 19일까지는 이 나라 모든 지역에서 18세 이상의 모든 성인이 백신을 접종할 자격이 있다는 것을 의미합니다.]

In addition, he emphasized that 150 million doses were received after 75 days of inauguration, and that the goal of 200 million doses by the 100th day of inauguration will be achieved early.

He said he expects all Americans to get the vaccine by the end of the summer.

President Biden repeatedly called for aggressive vaccinations, saying that he is also facing sad news about infected people due to the spread of the mutant virus.
