US to hit 100M COVID-19 vaccines administered Friday, Biden says
Fox News
The United States is on track to hit President Biden’s goal of vaccinating 100 million Americans on Friday, just 58 days after his inauguration.
Biden said current data reflects that 65% of people ages 65 and older in the U.S. have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, while 36% of this population are fully vaccinated. He said reaching this level is key as "this is the population that represents 80% of the well over 500,000 COVID-19 deaths in America." Biden said the country’s current pace of administering 2.5 million shots per day outpaces the rest of the world "significantly," and credited ramped up manufacturing and federal programs like the pharmacy program and mass vaccination centers for helping the nation achieve his initial goal.More Related News
