Health experts explain what it means to miss Biden's goal of 70% of US adults vaccinated by July 4

Daily Mail  

The U.S. is not going to meet President Joe Biden's July 4 goal of having 70 percent of adults with at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose. On May 4, Biden announced a new vaccination goal for the U.S: an aim to administer at least one vaccine shot to 70 percent of the adults in the country by July 4. But the U.S. fell short of this one with 66.8 percent of U.S. adults receiving at least one dose and 57.9 percent fully vaccinated, CDC data show. 'We don't have enough people vaccinated, not even close, to reach herd immunity,' Dr Katelyn Jetelina, an epidemiologist at the University of Texas and author of the Your Local Epidemiologist newsletter, told DailyMail.com.
