![]() ![]() One final note: Since we passed the American Rescue Plan, we’re starting to see new signs of hope in our economy. And millions more will be getting their money very soon. That’s real money in people’s pockets, bringing relief instantly, almost. And I believe, in the 35 days left to go, we’ll meet that goal as well.Īs of yesterday, more than 100 million payments of $1,400 have gone into people’s bank accounts. Not yet a majority, but we’re really close. Now, thanks to the enormous amount of work done by our administration, educators, parents, local, state education officials and leaders - a recent Department of Education Department survey shows that nearly half of the K-through-8 schools are open now full time, five days a week, for in-person learning. I also set a goal, before I took office, of getting a majority of schools in K through 8 fully open in the first 100 days. And I believe we can do it.Īnd today, we’ve made a historic investment in reaching the hardest-hit and the most vulnerable communities, the highest-risk communities - as a consequence of the virus - by investing an addition $10 billion in being able to reach them. I know it’s ambitious, twice our original goal, but no other country in the world has even come close - not even close - to what we are doing. That’s right: 200 million shots in 100 days. 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. ![]() We met that goal last week by day 58 - 42 days ahead of schedule. Before I take questions, I want to make - give you a progress report to the nation on where we stand 65 days into office here on vaccinations and a few other top priorities for the American people.įirst, on vaccinations: On December 8th, I indicated that I hoped to get 100 million shots in people’s arms in my first 100 days.
