President Biden will announce Tuesday that he is moving up the deadline for states to open up COVID-19 vaccinations to all adult Americans by about two weeks, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.
Less than a month after directing states to expand eligibility to all adults by May 1, Biden is expected to change that deadline to April 19.
“That doesn’t mean they will get it that day, that means they can join the line that day if they have not already done that beforehand,” Psaki said.
Most states have either made vaccines available to all residents 16 and older or announced plans to do so by mid-April. The White House did not say how it intends to get the handful of remaining states to move up their timelines.

Nearly Half Of States Will Make All Adults COVID-19 Vaccine Eligible By April 15
Officials announced at the end of March that nearly half of states were set to expand eligibility to all adults by April 15, and that 46 states and Washington, D.C., would do so by May 1. In the weeks since, the unaccounted for states — New York, Wyoming, South Carolina and Arkansas — have all opened vaccines to the general public.
Biden is also expected to announce that the U.S. administered 150 million doses in his first 75 days in office, a pace that puts him on track to surpassing his previously stated goal of reaching 200 million doses in his first 100 days.
