The United States on Friday topped 100 million Covid-19 vaccine doses administered, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
About 35 million people have been fully vaccinated, accounting for 13.5% of the adult U.S. population, according to the CDC. Over 65.9 million people have received at least one shot of the two-dose regimens, the CDC said.
The milestone includes the 16.5 million vaccines administered under the Trump administration, but brings President Joe Biden closer to his goal of getting 100 million shots into arms in his first 100 days in office.
Of those 65 and older, more than 32% have been fully vaccinated and over 61% have received at least one dose, according to the CDC. That's notable because about 80% of deaths caused by Covid-19 in the U.S. have been among people 65 and older.
The administration has gradually accelerated the pace of vaccinations since Biden took office. The White House originally sought to administer one million shots per day, which some public health specialists criticized as a low target. On Friday, according to the CDC, the U.S. administered a record 2.9 million shots.
