President Biden is expected to announce Tuesday that he is raising the date for adults to be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine by April 19.
Biden last month ordered countries, tribes and territories to ensure that all adults are eligible by May 1st.

But sources confirmed to Fox News that the president is moving the date up two weeks.
Biden set a goal of giving 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine in his first 100 days in office – a goal he has since doubled to 200 million doses on his 100th day.
But on Tuesday, Biden is expected to say that the U.S. reached 150 million shots in the first 75 days of its government.
