U.S. vaccination pace slows as goal of 200 million doses in 100 days is reached
Washington, April 22 (RHC)-- The United States reported another 63,000 coronavirus cases and over 800 COVID deaths on Wednesday as the White House said it has reached a goal of administering 200 million vaccine doses within President Biden’s first 100 days.
The pace of U.S. vaccinations has begun to slow, with an 11% drop in a weekly rolling average. Polls show about one in four U.S. residents might not get vaccinated.
Earlier this week, President Biden urged U.S. employers to provide paid time off for workers to receive vaccines and time to recover from any side effects.
