About half of American adults have received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, according to data from The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was launched on Saturday.
Across the country, more than 128 million people aged 18 and over have received at least one stroke, with more than 82 million completely vaccinated with one of three vaccines approved for emergency use in the United States, the CDC said.
Overall, 49.7% of US adults have received at least one dose of vaccine, according to data, and almost a third are fully vaccinated.
The landmark comes the day after The CDC announced As 30 percent of American adults have been fully vaccinated, a percentage is likely to rise rapidly in the next few weeks after President Biden’s decision to open vaccine eligibility to all Americans 18 years of age and older by Monday.
Three vaccines have received emergency authorization in the United States – vaccinations by Pfizer and BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson – although federal officials this week recommended a break in the administration of Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to six reported cases of blood clots in more than 6.8 million people who received the shot.
Scientists Johnson & Johnson said Friday that there is currently “insufficient” evidence of a “causal relationship” between its single-dose vaccine and the cerebral blood clot known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. The US-recommended break has raised concerns about the progress of vaccine distribution, as well as the hesitation of the vaccine.

The distribution break has already had an impact on the public perception of the vaccine, with an Economist-YouGov poll published on Thursday, showing that only 37% indicated that they think the inoculation is safe, compared to 52% who said the same thing before the announcement.

The updated vaccination figures released on Saturday come after officials pressured larger areas of the country to get vaccinated. Fauci told Business Insider in an interview last week that between 70% and 85% of the American population should be vaccinated to reach herd immunity.
The US had a more efficient distribution of the vaccine than in other countries, especially in Europe, where The World Health Organization earlier this month said vaccines had been launched “Unacceptably slow.”
Even amid rising vaccinations, cases and deaths around the world, it continues to persist with the world. exceeding 3 million coronavirus-related deaths on Saturday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
The United States recorded the most COVID-19 deaths by far from any country with over 566,000, according to the tracker, followed by Brazil with over 368,000 deaths and Mexico with over 211,000.
