(Worthy News) – Half of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and about a third are fully vaccinated, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Details: For Americans over 18 years of age, 50.4% have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, and 32.5% are fully vaccinated. [ Source: Axios (Read More…) ]
