In Delaware on Tuesday, President-elect Joe Biden criticized the Trump administration on their handling of distributing COVID-19 vaccines.

Biden said the current administration is falling way behind when it comes to distributing vaccines. "It is not progressing as it should," Biden said.

Biden said Trump promised 20 million Americans would be vaccinated by the end of December, but only 2 million have received the first dose. Biden added that it would take years, not months, for all Americans to get vaccinated at the current rate.

WATCH RECAP:

Biden said he aims to distribute 100 million vaccine shots in his initial 100 days in office, adding that the current vaccination effort would need to be up five to six times to reach his goal of one million shots a day.

"I'm going to move heaven and earth to get us going in the right direction," the President-elect said, noting he would also use the Defense Production Act to boost the production of materials for COVID vaccines.

"We're going to get through this. Brighter days are coming, but it's going to take all the grit and determination we have as Americans to get it done," Biden said. "We need to be honest: The next few weeks and months are going to be very tough, very tough for our nation. Maybe the toughest during this entire pandemic."

Biden added that in his first 100 days, there would be a federal mask mandate on federal properties, but states and individuals would have to be part of the solution.

After pointing out former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's shifting his stance on masks, Biden called on President Trump to "clearly and unambiguously" promote mask-wearing and the vaccine during his final weeks in office.

"Look, my ability to change the direction this pandemic starts in three weeks, with thousands dying every day between now and then," Biden said. "If we just step up together, wear masks, socially distance, wash our hands, avoid large indoor gatherings ― I know all these are not easy to ask. But I'm asking you to make a sacrifice. You're already making tremendous sacrifices every single day."

When vaccines were harder to come by and people sat on waiting lists, Magic Adrian came to the rescue for hundreds of people in Clermont County and beyond.

Though it sounds like one, it's not a folk tale: Adrian Anderson's personal cell phone number was posted in churches, shared among friends and family, displayed in offices and on Facebook.

"I just saved her contact as 'Magic Adrian,' so when I shared the contact with people, that's what it showed up as, and I think it just kind of accidentally and organically took on a life of its own," said Alex Horan-Jacobs, who, like many at the time, was eager to get a COVID-19 vaccine but couldn't get an appointment.

Magic Adrian was his secret weapon; he and anywhere from 200 to 300 people also used her number.

Anderson is a practice manager at Mercy Health in Clermont and Anderson. During the release of the first doses of vaccine, she took it upon herself to help schedule any and everyone who needed a shot.

"I would call one, and then I would ask the question -- which I probably shouldn't -- is there anyone else you'd like me to schedule?" said Anderson.

More often than not, the answer was yes.

"As soon as the governor would increase the guidelines so that more people could get it, I would receive more calls and I would schedule them for the day that they were eligible," she said.

Others in her office took notice of the extra work Magic Adrian was doing to help their clinic -- from staying late to answering hundreds of calls on her personal cell to scheduling on her laptop on the weekends from home.

"The truth is, anytime anything needs to get done, Adrian makes it happen," said Dr. Brent Kinder, with Mercy Health. "In this case, she realized how important it was, so she literally sacrificed her life for several months to save lives."

Anderson has received thank-you notes, cards and emails from families thrilled she could connect them with a shot that they so desperately needed.

"My friends would tell me, 'I called that number, and I'm going in two days,'" said Horan-Jacobs. "It's like, wow, especially after a year and so of sweating it out. Magical is just kind of apt, I think."

Anderson said the driving force for her was focusing on saving lives.

"People were dying daily and that's just not something, if it can be prevented, then why not," said Anderson.

Mercy Health is still offering vaccination clinics; anyone interested can call 866-624-0366 or visit their online scheduling tool.
