The target of corona vaccination in America does not seem to be met on time. That's why President Joe Biden has appealed to be careful with the infection. It has also been said that people should get vaccinated as soon as possible. The US had set a target of vaccinating 70% of adults by July 4. But President Biden did not talk about this goal during a conversation with the media at the White House whereas, while setting the target in May, Biden described this campaign as a milestone.

Now he said- 'Corona is spreading rapidly in states with less vaccination.' In fact, Vice President Kamala Harris had reached Atlanta on Friday to inspect the status of corona vaccination. He noticed that the corona vaccination was not done properly in Fulton County of Atlanta.

About 50% of people have taken only one dose of the vaccine. Similarly, Health and Human Services Secretary Javier Becerra also visited Colorado. They also saw a lack of vaccinations in Colorado. After this, Biden said that people should get the corona vaccine as soon as possible. This is the best way to avoid infection. It's been 150 days since Biden became president. In so many days, 300 million doses of corona vaccine have been given in America.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that as of Friday, 65% of the nation's adults have received at least one dose of the vaccine. But the rate of daily vaccination in the US has come down drastically. Earlier, five lakh people were taking the first dose every day. Now only two lakh people are taking the first dose every day.

The White House also released a status report on Friday. According to this, 70% of adults in 15 states including Virginia, Colorado have taken the same dose of corona. In eight states, such as Louisiana, 40% of adults have taken at least one dose. It has been feared in the report that the situation in America may be like before.

Impact: Plan to give AstraZeneca vaccine to other countries

The sudden slowdown in the pace of corona vaccination in America can have an impact on a plan. With this, America can postpone plans to give AstraZeneca vaccine to other countries. President Biden had said that America will give 80 million doses of corona vaccine to needy countries. He has only two weeks left to fulfill this promise.

Official sources say that now the US may amend the plan to send the AstraZeneca vaccine abroad. It was earlier decided that along with Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, it would also give AstraZeneca's vaccine to the needy countries.
