As the COVID-19 vaccine rollout continues, NPR is reporting that Biden will be directing all states to make the COVID-19 vaccine available to all adults, regardless of age or occupation, by May 1st.

The move is reportedly to allow for small gatherings to be possible by July 4th.

The vaccine distribution will play a critical role in the next phases of the Disney Parks reopening – possibly even allowing for an increase in capacity, and decrease in physical distancing. Disney CEO Bob Chapek expects face coverings to be worn until 2022, but is keeping an eye on how the vaccine rollout goes.

Disney has not made any announcements or changes with regards to their COVID-19 safety policies yet.
