I know it’s ambitious, twice our original goal, but no other country in the world has even come close - not even close - to what we are doing. That’s right: 200 million shots in 100 days.
Now, today, I’m setting a second goal, and that is: We will, by my 100th day in office, have administered 200 million shots in people’s arms. We met that goal last week by day 58 - 42 days ahead of schedule. Before I take questions, I want to make - give you a progress report to the nation on where we stand 65 days into office here on vaccinations and a few other top priorities for the American people.įirst, on vaccinations: On December 8th, I indicated that I hoped to get 100 million shots in people’s arms in my first 100 days.
