As number of coronavirus cases
continue to rise and vaccine supplies beginning to dwindle, January is on track
to become the deadliest month of the pandemic so far.
A new report from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that six in 10 older
American citizens don’t know where or when thy can get a vaccine against the
coronavirus.
Many who do get appointments have experience hours-long waits
either standing in line or waiting in their cars.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says around 1.6 million vaccines
were given in 24 hours, the biggest one-day increase so far.
The new is welcome for the new Biden administration, which has promised a
million vaccines every day for 100 days.
“We’re just going to go for it as much as you possibly can,” says Director of
the National Institute of Allery and Infectious Disease Dr. Anthony Fauci “When
you set a goal, if you do better than the goal, that’s terrific. I hope we do.”
Fauci says that he believes somewhere between 70% and 85% of American adults
will be vaccinated by the end of the summer.
