US President Joe Biden’s CNN townhall on Wednesday started with COVID-19 related queries, with the President confirming that vaccines would be available for the general public by the end of July, 2021, as per reports from CNN.
“By the end of July we’ll have over 600 million doses, enough to vaccinate every single American,” Biden was quoted as saying.

The 46th US President further noted that there were only 50 million doses available when he started office.
Biden noted that he passed the Defence Manufacture Act in order to “get the manufacturing piece of it to get more equipment.”
The President also noted that the lack of vaccinators was one of the main concerns with injecting people with the vaccines, adding that he had also issued an executive order for the same.
Focussing primarily on social distancing and reducing
travelling, the 46th President of the US has implemented his motto
seemingly in his own actions.

The trip to Milwaukee for the townhall is President Joe Biden’s first work-tour
outside Washington DC since coming into office. The 78-year-old so far has left
Washington area only once – for a trip back home to Wilmington, Delaware – back
in the first week of February, 2020.
