The New York Times: Biden Raises
Daily Vaccination Target And Extends Travel Bans
President Biden, under pressure to speed up the pace of coronavirus
vaccination, said on Monday that he was now aiming for the United States to
administer 1.5 million vaccine doses a day — a goal that is 50 percent higher
than his initial target but one that the nation already appears on track to
meet. The president made his comments just hours after he banned travel by
noncitizens into the United States from South Africa because of concern about a
coronavirus variant spreading in that country, and moved to extend similar bans
imposed by his predecessor on travel from Brazil, Europe and Britain. Those
bans were set to expire on Tuesday. (Stolberg, 1/25)
