Biden to tout US passing 200 million COVID-19 vaccinations

President Biden on Wednesday will hail the US passing 200 million COVID-19 vaccine doses administered — as the nation expands eligibility to all Americans over age 16.

According to CDC data, more than 213 million doses were administered as of Wednesday, enough to cover 51 percent of the adult population.

Biden’s remarks around 1:15 p.m. will promote expanding access to reach herd immunity to end the COVID-19 pandemic.

A White House official who briefed select journalists ahead of Biden’s remarks said he will outline how his administration plans to reach the crucial threshold.
