By May 1, all adults in the United States should have the right to coronavirus vaccinations in their states.

President Joe Biden wanted to announce the order to the US states on Thursday (local time), as announced in advance from the White House.

The evening address to the nation was scheduled to mark the anniversary of the World Health Organization's declaration of the pandemic.

In the speech, Biden wanted to introduce a number of measures how the US could get something back to normal by July 4th Independence Day.

In the hours before the speech, Biden signed the gigantic Corona aid and stimulus package into force.

The $ 1.9 trillion package is said to help the US defeat the virus and restore the economy, according to the president.

Some direct payments of up to $ 1,400 could be received by Americans this weekend.

The pandemic has killed more than 530,000 people in the United States and turned the lives of countless others upside down.

With a view to a return to normalcy, according to government officials, Biden should speak of a good prospect that citizens could safely celebrate the national holiday in small groups.

At the same time, Biden was expected to emphasize that "the fight is far from over".

Still, the US should be in significantly better shape on Independence Day if citizens continued to wear masks, abide by public health rules and immunized according to the vaccination sequence.

Before Biden's speech, it was also reported from the White House that the coronavirus vaccinations should be supported by an additional 4,000 soldiers.

2000 soldiers are currently employed for the US-wide vaccination campaign.

Biden will also double the number of pharmacies involved in the vaccination campaign and the federally administered centers for mass vaccinations.

Mobile vaccination facilities are to be expanded for communities hard hit by the virus.

According to information from a government employee, the White House wants to announce on Friday who will be able to administer additional corona vaccinations in the future.

A new directive apparently provides that dentists, paramedics, medical assistants, veterinarians and medical students are also entitled to vaccinate fellow citizens.
