The country is getting closer to winning the war against COVID-19, however, that will only be achieved when all those eligible for immunization choose to roll up their sleeves and allow themselves to be given a safe and effective vaccine, the main weapon against the disease.
So far, more than 182 million Americans have received at least one dose, including nearly 90 percent of older adults and 70 percent of people age 27 and older, President Joseph Biden said in a statement released by the White House on Tuesday.
He added that by the end of this week, the mark of 160 million fully vaccinated Americans will have been reached.
The vaccine really works
COVID-19 cases and deaths are down 90 percent since January due to millions of vaccine applications.
Millions of fully vaccinated Americans are getting back to living their lives as before. Businesses are reopening and hiring. And projected economic growth is the highest it’s been in four days. Thanks to millions of shots administered.
