The moves come after a national address made by President Joe Biden on March 11, during which he said that he would be directing all states to open eligibility for all adults to receive the vaccine by May 1 in the hopes that the country can return to some level of normalcy by the July 4 holiday. “After this long hard year, that will make this Independence Day something truly special, where we not only mark our independence as a nation but begin to mark our independence from this virus,” he said. But some states have opted to jump ahead of Biden’s goal, announcing that any citizen 16 or older would soon be allowed to make a vaccine appointment for themselves if they hadn’t already done so. However, in these states, it’s important to note that those aged 16 and 17 will only be able to receive a Pfizer vaccine, as the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines have only been approved for people 18 and older. So, when will it be open vaccine season where you live?
