    The most important thing you can do is roll up your sleeve and get vaccinated with the first vaccine offered to you! Visit CDC's updated site for information about the new Johnson & Johnson #COVID19 vaccine, including what to know before getting a vaccine: https://t.co/gvIZSduATF

    Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month. It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

    I know that stamina has worn thin & fatigue appears to be winning, but we must continue to fight against #COVID19. Wear a well-fitting mask, avoid travel & crowds, social distance, & practice good hand hygiene. Now more than ever, we must do all we can to #StopTheSpread. https://t.co/ETXcHukJdT

    I know that many Americans look forward to rolling up their sleeves with confidence as soon as a #COVID19 vaccine is available to them. Getting vaccinated when a vaccine is available to you will help protect all of us from COVID-19. https://t.co/snNwCShi1d https://t.co/Y3wSrkXZAE

    This vaccine is one more tool we have to stop #COVID19. We must also continue to be vigilant & committed to consistently doing what we know works to #StopTheSpread - #WearAMask, stay 6 ft apart, avoid crowds & poorly ventilated spaces.

    As vaccination scales up, so does our nation’s overall protection from serious outcomes due to #COVID19. The Janssen vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective in preventing severe COVID-19 illness, hospitalization, and death.

    Just as we are taking action to address the inequities the #COVID19 pandemic laid bare, we need a concerted approach to bring an end to the pandemic and to leverage the lessons learned during COVID-19 to achieve optimal health for all.

    We are on track to get 100 million #COVID19 vaccines into arms in the first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration. After hitting that milestone, we will still need to get the rest of the American people vaccinated. Saves lives, get the vaccine when it is available to you! https://t.co/d4dyMZEe9O
