President Biden Urges All U.S. Residents 16 and Over to Get Vaccinated
----------------------------------------------------------------------

President Biden on Monday urged all U.S. residents 16 and older to get
vaccinated against COVID-19, as his administration began its campaign to
combat vaccine hesitancy.

President Joe Biden: "Everybody is eligible, as of today, to get the
vaccine. We have enough of it. You need to be protected. And you need,
in turn, to protect your neighbors and your family. So, please, get the
vaccine."

U.S. coronavirus infections remain on a high plateau with another 68,000
new cases and nearly 500 deaths reported Monday.
