Half of American adults have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Sunday.
Nearly 130 million people, or about 50.4 percent of the total adult population, have received at least one vaccine, the CDC said.
Meanwhile, nearly 84 million adults (about 32.5 percent of the population) are fully vaccinated, according to the agency.
There are currently two vaccines available: a two-dose vaccine made by Pfizer, another dose vaccine by Moderna, after federal regulators temporarily stopped the use of a third, a single-dose garbage from Johnson & Johnson, in response to reports of rare blood clots.
Federal officials have yet to determine if the vaccine has caused blood clotting problems.
But Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday he believed regulators will resume the use of gunfire sometime this week, possibly with restrictions or warnings.
“I would be very surprised if we don’t resume some form before Friday,” he told CBS’s “Face the Nation”. “I don’t really expect them to want me to stretch it any more.”
