The United States has reached a new milestone as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data showed that more than half of adults in America received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
The CDC Data Tracker shows that 50.4% of Americans 18 years or older have received at least one dose of the vaccine, while 32.5% have been fully vaccinated. Cases of COVID-19 have been steadily declining since mid-January.
Three vaccines have received permission for emergency use from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In December, the FDA granted emergency approval for the Modern COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 18 years and older. The vaccine is part of a two-dose regimen, separated by 28 days, and has been shown to be more than 94% effective in preventing COVID-19 from starting at least 14 days after the second dose. In December, the FDA granted emergency approval for the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 16 years of age or older. That vaccine is also part of a two-dose regimen, spaced three weeks apart, and has been shown to be 95% effective in preventing COVID-19. It was the first FDA-approved COVID-19 vaccine.
Last week, the FDA and CDC called for an interruption of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which requires one dose for vaccination. The break comes as officials investigate a possible link to a type of rare blood clot. Six cases of blood clots have been reported in the US. On April 12, more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine were administered in the United States.
In February, the FDA granted emergency approval for the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine for use in individuals 18 years or older. An FDA analysis of trial data found that no one who received the vaccine was hospitalized for COVID-19 or died of COVID-19, 28 days after the vaccine was administered.
The Daily Wire reported on Sunday that dr. White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci made a prediction about the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. On NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Fauci said: “I estimate we will use it in some form. I seriously doubt if they will just cancel it.”
‘I do think there is likely to be a warning, restriction or risk assessment. I do not think it’s just going to go back and say, ‘OK, all is well. Go back, ” he said. “I think it would probably say, ‘OK, we’re going to use it, but be careful under certain circumstances.’ ‘
A CDC advisory panel is expected to hold a meeting on Friday to determine whether the vaccine should be discontinued or lifted. Fauci said he believes officials will reach a decision during the meeting on Friday.
‘I think by now we have a decision. Although I do not want to advance the CDC and the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] and the advisory committee, but I would imagine that what we will see is that it would come back and it would come back in a kind that wanted either a restriction, ‘Fauci said later on Sunday on CNN’s’ State of the Union ‘said.
Last week, The Daily Wire reported that the CEO of Pfizer said that people should probably be given a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine within twelve months after being fully vaccinated. years protected from the virus.
