President Biden To Visit Michigan Pfizer Plant Thursday

KALAMAZOO, MI — President Joe Biden will be visiting the Pfizer plant in Kalamazoo next week, the White House announced Friday.

Biden will visit the Pfizer plant on Thursday, according to a news release issued by the White House. The president is expected to meet with workers producing the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, according to the news release.

Additional information regarding the visit is expected to be released next week, officials said.

The visit would mark Biden's first visit to Michigan since being sworn in as president.

Biden visited the Viral Pathogenesis Laboratory at the National Institutes of Health complex outside Washington that created the COVID-19 vaccine now manufactured by Moderna on Thursday and announced the U.S. will have enough supply of the vaccine by the end of the summer to inoculate 300 million Americans.

The pace of injections could increase if a third coronavirus vaccine from drugmaker Johnson & Johnson receives approval from the Food and Drug Administration.
