Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows more than 154 million adults have now received at least one dose, while 122 million — or 47.4% of U.S.
adults — are now fully vaccinated. Earlier this month, Biden set a goal of 70% of adults to have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Independence Day, with 160 million fully vaccinated against the virus.
He called on Americans to get the shot so the country "can celebrate our independence as a nation and our independence from this virus."CDC data shows 56.3% of the population aged 12 and older has received at least one shot.
