The White House is expected to announce that it will not reach President Joe Biden’s previously set vaccination goal by July 4th, according to a report by NBC News.

NBC News reported that “The Biden administration planned to concede Tuesday that it will likely fall short of President Joe Biden’s goal of partially vaccinating 70 percent of American adults by Independence Day,” adding that “Jeffrey Zients, the head of the White House Covid-19 response team, was slated to announce that the administration has hit its 70 percent vaccination target among Americans ages 30 and older, and is poised to reach that threshold for those 27 and older by the Fourth of July.”
