Administration Offers New Strategy on Vaccinations as Rate Slows

President Biden is outlining efforts aimed at vaccinating 70 percent of American adults by July, including directing pharmacies to offer walk-ins for shots.

I don't think it will work on several counts. Most of the adult population wanting to be vaccinated with that representing 100M souls or 30%, have been vaccinated.

The teen population represents 20% of the population. Another 15% pre--teen.

At face value, what Biden is saying is he can get every adult not yet vaccinated to visit their local pharmacy. What's the chance of that happening? Especially since the local Pharmacy will be more likely to give the J&J? With all of its bad publicity.

I could see where once Pfizer gets approval for 12-16 yr olds, the vaccinated herd immunity gets shoved up from 30% to 40%. Gotta subtract out the 16-19 yr olds already vaccinated. Where 40% is a number the epidemiologists are predicting.

Biden to states if you don't want it we will find someone who does.

Back in Jan-Feb the States in mass were bitching their tails off that they had demand, and no vaccine supply. Any recent tales of short supply by a State?

Or is Biden really trying to coax the hesitant to get vaccinated, by implying supply could be shifted away from them? How to get to 70%?
