That\u2019s right: 200 million shots in 100 days,\u201d Biden said during a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d I know it\u2019s ambitious, twice our original goal, but no other country in the world has even come close\u2014not even close\u2014to what we are doing. And I believe we can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden before entering office said his goal was to get 100 million shots administered by the time he\u2019d been in office for 100 days.<\/p>\n<p>That goal was reached around day 60.<\/p>\n<p>As of March 25, the United States has administered 133.3 million COVID-19 shots.<\/p>\n<p>COVID-19 is the disease caused by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/giving-the-right-name-to-the-virus-causing-a-worldwide-pandemic-2_3277200.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the three authorized COVID-19 vaccines require two doses; the other, Johnson &amp; Johnson\u2019s, is a single shot.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 47.4 million Americans have been fully vaccinated against the CCP virus. The others are still waiting for a second dose.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3738835\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_334563\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-334563\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-334563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/biden-at-presser-700x420-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/biden-at-presser-700x420-1.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/biden-at-presser-700x420-1-300x180.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/biden-at-presser-700x420-1-675x405.jpeg 675w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/biden-at-presser-700x420-1-480x288.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-334563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">US President Joe Biden answers a question during his first press briefing in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on March 25, 2021. &#8211; Biden announced a new goal of 200 million Covid-19 vaccine doses in his administration&#8217;s 100 days.
