White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced on Tuesday that the White House is organizing an effort to go door to door and visit unvaccinated Americans.
President Joe Biden also discussed the new "educational campaign" while giving a speech on Tuesday. The administration missed their goal of getting 70% of adults at least one shot by the Fourth of July.
“We are continuing to wind down the mass vaccination sites that did so much in the spring. … Now, we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and oftentimes door to door, literally knocking on doors, to get help for the remaining people protected from the virus,” President Biden said.
Yahoo News reports that "the Biden administration will redouble its efforts to chip away at doubt about the vaccines by partnering with about 42,000 local pharmacies and primary care physicians’ offices, where people feel most comfortable receiving medical advice. The administration will also boost access to the shots at pediatricians’ offices for children 12 to 15 needing physical exams before returning to school in the fall."
Psaki said that they will be doing "targeted community-by-community door-to-door outreach" during Tuesday's press briefing.
