President Biden doubled his initial goal of vaccinating 100 million people in his first 100 days in the office.
Speaking at the first press conference after taking the office the US president said, “I know it’s ambitious, twice our original goal, but no other country in the world has even come close, come close to what we are doing.”
The US has already reached Biden's initial goal of vaccinating 100 million people in just 60 days of his office.
Biden organized the press conference after 65 days in the office, which is the longest for any president without a formal press conference since the invention of Television.
