All Adult Americans Now Eligible for Coronavirus Vaccine
All adults in the United States are now eligible to register for a coronavirus vaccination, an accomplishment public health experts say represents a major step toward defeating the ongoing pandemic.
Those 16 and older in every state, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico are eligible to receive a vaccine as of Monday, The New York Times noted, a marker that coincides with the April 19 deadline set by President Biden‘s administration for states to make appointments available to all adults.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates more than 131 million people, or about half of all U.S. adults, have already received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, with an average of 3.2 new million doses being given each day.
