President Joe Biden told reporters at the White House on Monday that 96 to 98 percent of Americans need to be vaccinated before the nation can go back to normal.

“I think we get the vast majority—like is going on in some industries and some schools—96, 97, 98 percent. I think we’re getting awful close. But I’m not the scientist,” the president said in response to a question about how many people need to be vaccinated for the United States to “go back to normal.”
