President-elect Joe Biden said Tuesday that the Trump Administration’s ef- forts to vaccinate millions of American people against Covid-19 are falling “far be- hind” what is needed to control the pandemic, pledging to in- voke the Defense Production Act and launch vaccine educa- tion campaigns to accelerate the process and deliver 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days in office.
Criticizing President Don- ald Trump over the adminis- tration's failure to achieve its pledge to vaccinate 20 million Americans by the end of the year, Biden said he wanted to have 100 million people inocu- lated by the end of his first 100 days in office.

223 to 205 to implore Pence to declare Mr. Trump “inca- pable of executing the duties of his office and to immediately exercise powers as acting pres- ident.”
