Marking the One-Year Anniversary of World Health Organization’s official declaration of Covid-19 Pandemic, the Greater Princeton branch of AYLUS (GPA) encouraged its members to make posters to urge Americans to get vaccinated if they are eligible, so our normal life could come back as early as it can be, when the herd immunization of 75% reaches in the United States.
According to a report by CNBC on Friday, March 12th, the United States on Friday topped 100 million Covid-19 vaccine doses administered, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 35 million people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for 13.5% of the adult U.S. population, according to the CDC. Over 65.9 million people have received at least one shot of the two-dose regimens, the CDC said. Of those 65 and older, more than 32% have been fully vaccinated and over 61% have received at least one dose, according to the CDC. That’s notable because about 80% of deaths caused by Covid-19 in the U.S. have been among people 65 and older.
There are now three Covid-19 vaccines that have received an emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. Moderna’s and Pfizer’s two-dose vaccines were authorized for emergency use in December and Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot vaccine received clearance last month. States will make all adults eligible for the Covid vaccines, hopefully by May 1. Americans are expected to continue to follow public health measures and get vaccinated when it’s their turn.
