After three months of vaccination across the United States, a majority of American adults have gotten shots, and the effort will soon shift from mass inoculation to mop-up.
As of Saturday, 138.6 million people in the U.S. have received at least one covid-19 vaccine shot. About 1.3 million more are getting a first dose every day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the rate of new vaccinators is declining, even if were immediately cut in half, it would mean that six weeks from now more than half of the population of the U.S. and its territories will have had a dose.
The End of U S Mass Vaccination Is Coming Sooner Than Later
