The United States is approaching the milestone of 100 million people vaccinated, as health officials continue to issue warnings about rising infections caused by new strains of the virus and the reopening of the economy.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on April 1, more than 99,6 million people, or 30% of the US population, have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine. About 56 million people completed the vaccination, i.e. received both required doses.

When US President Joe Biden entered the White House on January 20, he set a goal of administering 100 million doses in his first 100 days in office. The new goal is to deliver 200 million doses of vaccines.

The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNtech vaccines require two injections. The good news is that Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech have announced updated results on the long-term effectiveness of their vaccine against COVID-19. The companies said the vaccine was 91% effective against the symptoms of the disease, and provided even more protection in preventing severe disease six months after receiving two doses.
