US Hits COVID-19 Vaccine Milestone: 50 Percent of Adults Fully Vaccinated The United States this week hit a major milestone in efforts to administer COVID-19 vaccines to the population. Approximately 50 percent of adults 18 or older as of May 26 have been fully vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19, according to federal data. “This is a major milestone in our country’s vaccination efforts,” acting COVID-19 administrator Andy Slavitt told a virtual briefing. Just 1 percent of Americans were fully vaccinated when President Joe Biden took office on Jan. 20. U.S. regulators granted emergency use authorization to two COVID-19 vaccines the month prior. Both vaccines require two doses. Fully vaccinated refers to people who get both doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or the single-shot Johnson & Johnson jab, which was authorized in March.
