A faith leader in Delaware is hoping to lead by example when it comes to the coronavirus vaccine.
By May 1, Governor Carney says the waiting list will open for everyone 16 and older, which is in line with President Biden s pledge to make all adults eligible for vaccines by that date.

As of Monday, March 15, Delaware vaccination providers had administered 319,587 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Twenty percent of Delaware s population has received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Currently, those able to be vaccinated are long-term care residents and staff, residents 65 and older, and teachers, school staff, and child care workers.
Starting next Tuesday, Delawareans 50 and older can request an appointment through the state at vaccinerequest.delaware.gov. After requesting an appointment, they will be added to the state s waiting list and eventually offered a slot at a state-run mass vaccination event.
The state has had mass vaccination events at Dover International Speedway, its DMV facilities and Delaware Technical Community College campuses through Curative, a health services company.
