Almost three-quarters of Americans eligible to be vaccinated against Covid-19 have received at least one dose, the top US health agency said.
Figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that 74.4 per cent of residents over the age of 12 have been given a coronavirus shot. Nearly 64 per cent of that age group has been fully vaccinated.
In the US, the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine is the only shot authorised for children between the ages of 12 and 17.
