US surpasses 100 million COVID vaccinations

President Joe Biden’s administration is trying to speed up vaccinations as new COVID-19 infections decrease nationally.

More than 100 million people in the United States have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine jab, the national public health agency reported, as the Biden administration works to speed up vaccinations countrywide. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said more than 101 million jabs had been administered since the country’s inoculation programme began late last year. Of those, more than 35 million people – 10.5 percent of the US population – were considered “fully vaccinated”, the CDC said.
