As of Monday, 70 percent of all adults had received at least one vaccine dose, according to data from the CDC. Actually, this mark should already be reached on Independence Day on July 4th. At that time, however, the target was missed despite numerous vaccination incentives and a large supply of vaccines.
Cyrus Shahpar, who is responsible for corona data in the White House, wrote about a “milestone” on Twitter. In the United States, almost 50 percent of the population of around 330 million people have so far been fully vaccinated, and around 58 percent have received at least the first injection.
In view of the rapidly increasing number of new corona infections, significantly more people in the USA have recently been vaccinated again. The vaccination campaign had stalled since June, with only around half a million injections being administered each day. However, the trend has now reversed in the face of the new corona wave, which is attributed to the particularly contagious delta variant.
