A Twitter account for the White House COVID-19 Response Team on Wednesday morning posted that it is urging states to offer COVID-19 vaccines to walk-ins “to make this process easier” as the demand has dropped.

President Joe Biden has set a new vaccination goal to get 70% of Americans inoculated with at least one shot by July 4.

The president also said Tuesday that if the FDA authorizes the use of Pfizer’s vaccine in children as young as 12, the administration is prepared to ship doses to 20,000 pharmacies around the country and directly to pediatricians.
