Vaccination for COVID-19 is accelerating in the United States.

The number of vaccinations for the 65-year-olds is also close to half, and priority vaccination targets, including high-risk groups, are expanding to the general public.

Vaccination in the United States seems to be accelerating.

A record of the maximum daily vaccination was also set, right?

Yes. As of the 26th local time, the highest number of vaccinations per day was 3.38 million, according to Dr. Cyrus Shafa, director of the White House’s COVID-19 data.

According to CNN, the average number of vaccinations per day for the last 7 days has also increased to 2.62 million.

This is because the vaccination is fast, and as of the 26th, 14.7% of the total population, or 4,8695,000 people, had completed the vaccination.

As a result, state governments are expanding the target audience to all adults over the age of 16.

After some progress in vaccination for priority targets, such as front-line healthcare workers, high-risk groups, and teachers, we decided to inoculate virtually everyone.

Six states, including Alaska, Mississippi, West Virginia, Utah, Georgia, and Arizona, have already increased the number of immunizations to all adults over the age of 16.

At least 30 states are expected to do the same in April.

Only two states have yet to offer plans to expand, New York and Arkansas.

On the 25th, U.S. President Biden announced that he would inoculate 200 million doses of the Corona 19 vaccine to Americans until the 100th of his inauguration.

The revised announcement was made as we achieved the 100 million dose plan within 58 days of taking office.

It appears to be an expression of confidence that comes from getting more vaccinations.
