All American adults to be eligible for COVID-19 vaccine by April 19 -Biden
The Peninsula
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday moved up the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility target for all American adults to April 19, but warned that with new virus variants spreading "we're still in a life-and-death race" with the coronavirus.
Biden directed states to widen the vaccine eligibility to people 18 or older by April 19, two weeks earlier than the May 1 deadline he announced previously. No COVID-19 vaccine is authorized yet for children under 16, although testing is underway. Most U.S. states had already said they would open vaccines to all adults by that new target date.
