The rate of reported daily vaccinations administered in the US remained over 3 million for the tenth consecutive day on Friday, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with many states approaching halfway for residents with at least one jab.
At the same time, the daily rate of new cases of Covid-19 at the national level remains high. The United States reports nearly 70,500 new infections a day, based on an average of seven days of data from Johns Hopkins University, up 7% from a week ago.
American vaccines were given
With nearly 4 million vaccine doses reported on Friday, the average daily vaccine administered in the United States now stands at 3.3 million.
Earlier this week, Covid-19 White House Response Coordinator Jeff Zients said the break in Johnson & Johnson vaccinations will not slow the U.S. launch and that the country has enough Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines to continue. taking 3 million photos a day.
US share of the vaccinated population
About 39% of the US population has received at least one vaccination and 24% are fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.
In New Hampshire, 58% of the population received at least one dose. More than 45% of residents in Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Vermont are at least partially vaccinated.
Some states are still lagging behind. Mississippi and Alabama administered at least one blow to only 29% and 30% of their population, respectively. This figure is 31% in Louisiana and Tennessee.
Josh Michaud, associate director for global health policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said the disparities stem in part from various approaches to vaccine distribution. Some states have managed to make the process easier through technology and clear communication.
“Having a well-oiled, well-functioning vaccination operation certainly helps,” Michaud said.
Michaud also pointed to the vaccine’s hesitation, saying many Americans who were eager for a vaccine had already taken it, leaving those on the fence next to the next row. Vaccinating these hesitant populations will require more communication and communication, he said.
US Covid cases
The seven-day average of new daily coronavirus cases in the United States is 70,484, according to Hopkins data. This is well below the nation’s winter peak, averaging about 250,000 new daily cases per day, but largely in line with summer growth.
Michigan continues to record the worst outbreak in the country based on new average daily cases per capita, with infection levels close to pandemic peaks. The state reports a seven-day average of nearly 7,700 new daily cases per day, approaching the state peak of more than 8,300 per day in December.
Covid deaths in the USA
The United States reported 887 deaths caused by Covid on Wednesday, Hopkiins data show, and the seven-day average of daily deaths is 714. More than 565,000 total deaths have been reported in the United States since Thursday.
