US President Joe Biden said that by the end of next month, all American adults will be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) at least once. From the 19th, it was decided to qualify all American adults for vaccination.
According to the Associated Press on the 6th (local time), President Biden said in a speech on Corona 19 that all adults in the United States will be eligible for vaccination from the 19th. It is about two weeks ahead of the original May 1 target.
President Biden said, “There are no more confusing rules or restrictions.” “By the end of May, most adults will be able to get at least the first dose.”
He said the US completed 150 million vaccinations, the world’s largest number of vaccinations within 75 days of taking office, and that the number of vaccinations per day exceeded 4 million on the 3rd.
However, President Biden said he has not escaped from the risk of an infectious disease pandemic, and appealed to maintain an’exhibition system’ such as observing quarantine guidelines and participating in vaccinations. He said, “We didn’t get to the finals. They are competing for life and death with the virus,” he said, referring to the rapid spread of new mutations and a re-increase of confirmed cases.
When asked if President Biden had spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping about the origin of the virus and responsible for the spread of the virus in China, President Biden replied, “I have never spoken with President Xi.”
