i m proud to announce that tomorrow, 58 days in our administration, we ll have met my goal of administering 100 million shots to our fellow americans. that s weeks ahead of schedule. the president says eight weeks ago, only 8% of seniors had received a vaccination. today 65% of people age 65 or older have received one shot. 30% are fully vaccinated. he continues to believe there will be enough vaccine supply for every adult in america by the end of may. so the white house says that s part of the reason why it s finalizing plans of sending millions of doses to mexico and canada. that vaccine important to note is not approved for use here in the united states. our first priority remains vaccinating the u.s. population and ensuring our neighbors can contain the virus is a mission critical step. we have seven million release able doses of astra zeneca. we re working to finalize plans to lend them to mexico and 1.5 million to canada. so the bottom line, charles, president
