[앵커]

In the U.S., the second vaccination is being given as the vaccination started on the 14th of last month has reached the 3rd week.

The number of inpatients, considered a leading indicator of deaths, reached another high of over 100,000 for 33 consecutive days.

This is a report from Washington correspondent Taewook Kang.

It is a hospital in New York City, USA.

After the second shot, the nurse is sitting in the chair.

After getting a shot in the left arm, I applaud my appreciation.

After the first vaccination on the 14th of last month, I received the second vaccination of the Pfizer vaccine.

For proper immunity, the Pfizer vaccine should be administered 21 days after the first vaccination and the Modena vaccine should be administered 28 days after the second vaccination.

Accordingly, the 2nd vaccination started from the 4th local time.

Three weeks have passed, but there are only 4.5 million Americans vaccinated.

It has increased from the beginning, but it is still slow.

In the midst of this, the number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the U.S. again hit a high.

It reached 125,000 people as of 3 days local time.

It is the 33rd day that there are more than 100,000 people.

The increase in the number of inpatients leads to an increase in the number of deaths, so concerns are growing.

In particular, concerns are inevitable as the aftermath of the Christmas and New Year holidays has not yet taken off in earnest.
