Vaccine take-up rates are plummeted across the US with less than 500,000 adults now being vaccinated each day
The number of people receiving a Covid vaccine in the US has fallen to its lowest level since January – threateningVaccine take-up rates are plummeting across the US with less than 500,000 adults now being vaccinated each day – down from a peak of 3.4 million in April. The slowdown is being led mainly by southern states like Alabama, for example, where only 36.2% of its adult residents receive their first dose of a vaccine.
Currently, 51.5% of Americans – or 170.8 million people – have received a first dose of a vaccine. Those figures include children aged over 12 meaning that when counting just adults, 63.5% have had at least one jab. But fears are growing that the White House will fall short of the target after officials missed their vaccine administration target by almost two million doses last week.
Every state’s vaccination rates are down by at least two thirds since their Spring peaks, official figures show.
