WTVD news reported a Wake County native will deliver a speech alongside Governor Cooper on Thursday during President Biden’s visit to North Carolina to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations.
The story also reported that the White House recognized it is unlikely the country will reach President Biden’s goal of 70% of people having one dose by July 4th, and focused on other successes.
“We’re going to have close to 70% of people who have at least gotten one vaccine and that’s amazing,” said David Wohl, MD, professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases, who has been leading the COVID-19 fight across the UNC Health system. “You can’t get 70% of people hardly to do anything in this country anymore.”
