"We have good news: our vaccines are highly effective. Fully vaccinated Americans have a high degree of protection, even against the Delta variant," said President Joe Biden.
According to one study it has been shown that, since the beginning of May, virtually all hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 in the United States have occurred among the unvaccinated.
In addition, research shows that receiving two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine provides 96 percent protection against hospitalizations due to the Delta variant, while Oxford-AstraZeneca's efficacy is 92 percent.
"Get vaccinated now. It works. It's free. It's never been easier and it's never been more important. Do it now, for yourself and the people you care about; for your neighborhood; for the country. It sounds corny, but it's patriotic," Biden said.
