Administration officials on Tuesday acknowledged that the White House won’t meet President Joe Biden’s stated goal to vaccine 70 percent of U.S. adults with at least one dose of a COVID-19 shot by July 4.

White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters that 70 percent of those 30 years old and older have been vaccinated with at least one dose. The administration is also on track to vaccinate 70 percent of people aged 27 and older by July 4, he said.
