\"Covid-19\"Washington (dpa) – The United States is on track to reach a goal calling for 70 per cent of adults to have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine by July 4, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n

New data released Saturday indicates that more that half of all adults in the United States – or more than 51 per cent – are now fully vaccinated against the coronavirus , marking another milestone in the country’s pandemic recovery.<\/p>\n

All told, some 167.2 million people 18 years or older have received at least one dose, according to the CDC data.<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden set a goal earlier this month of hitting the first milestone by July 4, when Independence Day is celebrated.<\/p>\n

The target was expected to be reached hit, with the number standing at 61 per cent more than a month out.<\/p>\n

Still, the pace of vaccinations varies across the country, with the north-east and west coast among the regions with the highest take up while the south has moved more slowly.<\/p>\n

The CDC indicated that speaking of the entire US population of some 330 million, around 40 per cent of the population are already fully vaccinated now.<\/p>\n

Three vaccines are in use in the US: the two manufactured by Moderna and Pfizer\/BioNTech, which are administered in two doses, as well as the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab.<\/p>\n

This month US authorities extended the authorization of Pfizer\/BioNTech’s shot to children as young as 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
