President Biden Suggests a Door-to-door Vaccination Effort as Delta Variant Rages

He is desperate to get Americans vaccinated

As the more transmissible Delta variant spreads throughout the US, President Joe Biden is scrambling to find ways to get more Americans vaccinated, including going door-to-door.

In a press briefing on Tuesday, Biden said mass vaccination sites across the country are closing down, and now "we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and oftentimes, door to door — literally knocking on doors — to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus."

Experts have said communities with the least vaccination rates are more at risk of outbreaks caused by the more transmissible Delta variant, which originated in India. The variant may also be able to evade protection from existing vaccines, as Insider's Aria Bendix reported. Ohio's vaccination rates are much lower than many other states around the nation.
