WASHINGTON, May 2 (Xinhua) Vaccine hesitancy and spreading variants are causing growing concern for the U.S. battle against the COVID-19 pandemic that has killed over 575,000 Americans over the last year.
Health experts sounded the alarm as the country is ramping up efforts to vaccinate its population under President Joe Biden s administration.
More than 144 million Americans have received at least one COVID-19 shot, accounting for 43.6 percent of the population, and 30.5 percent of the population is fully vaccinated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
