The number of U.S. residents who are fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine reached 100 million on Friday.
In total, 101,407,308 adults have been fully vaccinated. That represents 30.5% of the total population and 39% of adults.
The milestone comes less than two days after President Joe Biden, during an address to a joint session of Congress, urged everyone in the country to get a vaccine, calling it a “dose of hope.”
In the last two weeks, the rate of vaccinations has declined. Vaccinations reach a high on April 16, when the seven-day average was over 3.3 million. It is now at about 2.5 million, a decline of 24%.
Rep. Raul Ruiz, Dr. Conrado Bárzaga reflect on Biden s presidential address

The address marked the 100th day of the president’s term. In the past, Ruiz has invited a constituent to join him in Washington, D.C., as his guest to such addresses, but due to COVID-19 safety protocols, in-person attendance was limited.
