ATLANTA - More than five million Americans have missed out on their second COVID-19 vaccine dose, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the CDC, more than 95 million Americans have been fully vaccinated, representing 28.9% of the total U.S. population. The agency said the five million people who haven’t received their second dose within the recommended timeframe represent nearly 8% of those who got their first shot of either Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccine, meaning about 92% of people are completing their vaccine.

WASHINGTON - Federal health officials said on Tuesday that fully vaccinated Americans can go without masks when walking, jogging or biking outdoors, or dining with friends at outdoor restaurants.
President Joe Biden celebrated the change in later remarks, urging people to get inoculated not just to protect themselves and those around them but so they can live more normally, by getting together with friends, going to the park for a picnic without needing a mask.
The guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention addresses growing calls from infectious-disease and other public-health experts to relax mask mandates for the outdoors because breezes disperse airborne virus particles, distancing is easier, and humidity and sunlight render the coronavirus less viable.
