More than half of US adults have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, government data showed on Sunday, as the White House bids to beat a worrying surge in new cases. Roughly 130 million Americans aged 18 and over have received a shot, representing 50.4 percent of the adult population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Around 84 million adults are fully vaccinated -- 32.5 percent of the adult population. The United States is a world leader in vaccinations, but a recent surge in new daily infections prompted top pandemic advisor Anthony Fauci to warn Sunday that the country remains in a "precarious position."
