President Joe Biden has announced the National Month of Action to mobilize an all-of-America sprint to get 70% of U.S. adults at least one shot by July 4th, so that more people can get the protection they need to be safe from a pandemic that has taken the lives of nearly 600,000 Americans.

Throughout the month, national organizations, local government leaders, community-based and faith-based partners, businesses, employers, social media influencers, celebrities, athletes, colleges, young people, and thousands of volunteers across the nation will work together to get their communities vaccinated.

What is the National Month of Action

Organizations and businesses from across the country have stepped up and responded to the President’s call to action. Already, 63% of adult Americans have gotten vaccinated, including 73% of Americans age 40 and over, and COVID-19 cases and deaths have plummeted as a result – cases are down over 90% and deaths are down over 85% since January 20th.

The National Month of Action will include the following initiatives:

Making it easier to get vaccinated and advancing equity

Free childcare for individuals getting vaccinated
Extended hours at pharmacies across the country in June to offer more flexible appointment availability

Mobilizing the country to do more vaccination education and outreach

Community canvassing, phone banking, text banking, and vaccination events
