(Worthy News) – President Joe Biden announced a goal to have the coronavirus vaccine available to 90% of U.S. adults by April 19, marking a new milestone in the process of putting an end to the pandemic.

Under the Biden administration’s plan, the number of pharmacies authorized to administer vaccines will more than double by April 19, from 17,000 to nearly 40,000. The federal government will also establish a dozen more mass vaccination sites. This means that 90% of U.S. adults will be within 5 miles of a vaccination site where they can make appointments to get the shots.

Major chain pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens have been receiving vaccine shipments directly from the federal government since February as part of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program for COVID-19 Vaccination, a collaborative effort between the Biden administration, state governments, and retail pharmacies to administer the shots.
