Dr. Gottlieb told CNBC President Biden will have no problem reaching his goal and will probably reach it early. The President’s 100th day in office is April 30. 

As of March 10, nearly 10 percent of all Americans have received two full doses.

“I think we need to prescribe a pathway forward, where people can start to resume their normal lives safely, and give people guidance to do that, and not be so prescriptive,” Dr. Gottlieb said.
