#1: More Than Half of US Has Received At Least One Shot
More than half of the total U.S. population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, marking another milestone in the effort to defeat the coronavirus. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated Friday showed that 50.1 percent of the population had at least one shot and that 40.2 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated, which takes place two weeks after receiving the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the Johnson & Johnson shot.
