President Joe Biden held his first press conference Thursday where he provided an update on the response to the pandemic and took questions from the media.
At the beginning of the press conference he announced the US has already reached the goal of 100 million shots in 100 days.
"On December 8th, I indicated that I hoped to get 100 million shots in people's arms in my first 100 days. We met that goal last week by day 58. 42 days ahead of schedule. Now, today I’m setting a second goal, and that is, we will, by my 100th day in office, have administered 200 million shots in people's arms," Biden said.
