It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down.
He also stated that, "It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down."
Despite a drop in infection rates in the US, with an average of approximately 35,000 illnesses over the previous week, down drastically from mid-January when it averaged near 800,000.
Obama urged more Americans to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 75.2 percent of adult Americans have been fully vaccinated, with 47.7% of those who have been fully vaccinated receiving a booster dose.
In late February, the CDC revised its criteria for interior masking, taking a more holistic approach, which means that most Americans live in places where indoor masking in public is not recommended.
