The U.S. has now administered over 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine — 101.1 million, to be precise — according to figures posted Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That equates to more than 35 million Americans fully vaccinated — 10.5% of the total U.S. population. Nearly 66 million, or almost 20% of the total population, have gotten at least one dose. Nearly one-third of Americans age 65 and older are fully vaccinated. Since the first shot in the nationwide rollout was given on December 14, there have been more doses administered in the U.S. than any other country in the world, according to figures collected by Johns Hopkins University, although several smaller nations have vaccinated a higher proportion of their populations. U.S. reaches COVID-19 vaccine milestone of 100 million shots Updated on: March 12, 2021 / 7:04 PM / CBS News The U.S. has now administered over 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine — 101.1 million, to be precise — according to figures posted Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The U.S. is likely to hit another vaccine milestone late next week: President Biden set a goal of 100 million vaccinations in his first 100 days in office, which we're on track to reach well ahead of schedule. While some other countries have struggled to secure doses, feuding over prices and exports, the U.S. should have enough COVID-19 vaccine to immunize the nation's entire adult population by the summer, with enough left over for some 172 million more people. The Biden administration now estimates it will have enough doses available for every adult by May. Clinical trials in teens and children could clear the way for some shots for adolescents by the fall and younger children in early 2022.
Look at those enormous big smiles of accomplishment especially after inheriting a piss poor vaccination distribution program and people confidence problem to do the right thing to kick Covid to the curb. A mine field of problems on Day 1 for the Biden / Harris administration. In fact, Joe looks like a proud father that's grooming his daughter to take over the oval office business. wrbtrader
