During his first primetime address, President Joe Biden suggested that all Americans over the age of 18 would be eligible to receive the vaccine as of May 1, and could celebrate the Fourth of July with loved ones.
“If we all do our part, this country will be vaccinated soon, our economy will be on the med, our kids will be back in school, and we’ll have proven once again that this country can do anything,” he said during his address, which lasted approximately 25 minutes. “[However] if we don’t stay vigilant, and the conditions change, then we may have to reinstate restrictions to get back on track. And please, we don’t want to do that again. We’ve made so much progress. This is not the time to let up.”
He continued: “Just as we were emerging from the dark winter into a hopeful spring and summer, [now] is not the time to not stick with the rules.”
