The U.S. has surpassed a staggering milestone with more than 30 million coronavirus infections reported, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Still, the virus is blamed for more than 540,000 deaths in the U.S., though the number of daily fatalities has been fewer than 1,000 in recent days, down from a January surge topping 4,000 daily deaths. The country has three approved vaccines in its arsenal, those developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, Moderna and a single-shot vaccine from Johnson & Johnson. A fourth vaccine from AstraZeneca is in the pipeline, and the company plans to file for FDA emergency authorization in the coming weeks, though AstraZeneca has faced significant issues overseas after over a dozen mostly European countries temporarily halted shots over reports of blood clots in some vaccinated individuals.More Related News
