US President Joe Biden said today that 100 million Americans will be vaccinated against COVID-19 in the next 10 days, Reuters reported.
Biden also told a White House event that the $ 1.9 trillion government package to help Americans and businesses affected by the $ 1.9 trillion coronavirus crisis would require tight controls to ensure it is properly implemented.
Meanwhile, White House spokeswoman Jen Saki said Donald Trump should not need an invitation to join efforts to promote vaccinations, AFP reported.
The White House believes that Trump should get involved in trying to convince those who have refrained from coronavirus vaccines, especially in the Republican camp.
But the White House has no intention of begging Trump to do so.
Former presidents from both political camps – Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama – have mobilized in recent weeks with a message to their compatriots to get vaccinated, but Trump has stayed away from the initiative.
“All the other former presidents who joined the campaigns did not need a formal invitation. If former President Trump wakes up tomorrow and decides that he needs to speak more clearly about the effectiveness of vaccines, we will support that, of course. “Saki said.
