President Joe Biden’s plan to get young Americans vaccinated involves Dr. Anthony Fauci making a media blitz on TikTok and Microsoft giving away free Xboxes, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Tuesday.

Psaki made the announcement in response to questions from reporters at a White House press briefing on Tuesday. She touted Fauci’s interviews with TikTok and Instagram influencers as a way to reach young people, in addition to working with the private sector.

“What is the game plan for getting young people vaccinated in greater numbers?” a reporter asked. (RELATED: Biden Unlikely To Achieve July 4 Vaccine Goal As Jab Rates Plummet)

“Let me give you a couple of examples of what we’re working on. It’s not just Dr. Fauci on TikTok, though that is happening,” Psaki replied. “CDC’s COVID vaccine chat on WhatsApp is now live to help Spanish speaking young adults get vaccinated.”

“We’re working with the private sector as well as you all know. Microsoft is giving away Xboxes at boys and girls clubs; the College Challenge is rallying university students across the country; Walgreens is giving out $25 to anyone who gets vaccinated there before July 4,” she continued. “These are just a couple of examples of some of the approaches we’re taking. We’ll build on that from there.”

WATCH:

The Biden administration is seeking to bolster vaccination rates that have plummeted in recent weeks. Psaki acknowledged that the U.S. is unlikely to meet Biden’s vaccination goal by July 4 as originally hoped as the date gets pushed back a few weeks.

Fauci and the CDC have said at least 70 percent of Americans must be vaccinated before return to true normalcy can begin.

“I need you to get vaccinated when it’s your turn, and when you can find an opportunity,” Biden said in March. “And to help your family, your friends, your neighbors get vaccinated as well.”

“Because here’s the point – if we do all of this, if we do our part, if we do this together, by July the 4th, there’s a good chance you, your families and friends, will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout and a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
