U.S last Friday exceeded 100 million doses of the vaccine against COVID-19 administered since December, which have so far immunized more than 35 million adults in the country most affected in the world by the pandemic.
According to the latest balance of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, in English), as of Friday 101 128 005 doses have been administered throughout the country of the vaccines authorized in the country, those of Pfizer, Moderna y Johnson & Johnson.
That has allowed more than 65 million adults to receive at least one dose of the vaccine, and that there are already 35 million fully immunized, which is equivalent to 13.5% of the US population over 18 years of age, the CDC said.
The CDC balance includes all doses administered since the start of vaccinate in U.S, in mid-December, under the mandate of former President Donald Trump.
THE BIDEN PROMISE
For this reason, the milestone reached on Friday does not imply that the promise made by the new US president, Joe Biden, that in his first 100 days in power, 100 million doses of the drug would be administered has yet been fulfilled. vaccine.
Since Biden came to power on January 20, more than 81.6 million doses have been supplied, according to a counter prepared by the NBC News network.
The US president calculated on Thursday that the rapid pace of vaccination in the country will allow him to fulfill his promise to reach 100 million doses under his mandate much earlier than expected, and he predicted that he will do so before reaching 60 days in the White House, that is, before March 21.
If you maintain your current rate of over two million vaccines administered daily in the country, the White House will achieve that goal by March 21, given that Biden is on his 52nd day in power this Saturday.
In his first address to the nation, Biden on Thursday ordered the states of the country to guarantee that all adults in the country can make an appointment to get vaccinated when May comes, with the aim that U.S can resume some normality, with meetings in small groups, for the holiday of July 4.
