Biden will speak about the pandemic from the White House after he failed to hit his goal of having 70 percent of adults partially vaccinated by Independence Day. At least 67% of adult Americans have received one shot. Meanwhile cases tied to the Delta variant are at 26 percent. In his remarks, the president will described targeted efforts of 'door to door outreach to get the remaining Americans vaccinated,' according to a White House official. He will also push adolescents ages 12 to 18 can get vaccinated as they go for 'back to school' checks ups or get ready for fall sports. The White House has been on a push to get shots in arms as several states in the South and South West are hovering around the 50 percent mark and COVID cases were up in nearly half of U.S. states, a USA TODAY analysis of John Hopkins data shows. Alaska and Arkansas more than doubled cases in the past week while South Carolina and Kansas are up more than 50 percent. In Missouri, the number of hospitalized patients jumped by nearly 30 percent over the Fourth of July weekend. Meanwhile the Delta variant is now responsible for 26% of cases and has been detected in all 50 states, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.

The administration has launched an all-hands on deck effort to get shots in arms, dispatching, President Biden, Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff on tours to get the vaccination rate increased. Vaccines are strongly effective against the variant. 'The overwhelming proportion of people who get into trouble are the unvaccinated. Which is the reason why we say this is really entirely avoidable and preventable,' Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Meet the Press on Sunday.
