Since December, more than 75 million coronavirus vaccine doses have been administered in the US in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the discussion is turning to the longer-term fight against the coronavirus.
With around 75.2 million coronavirus vaccine doses now having been administered in the US since vaccinations began back in December, according to Bloomberg’s vaccine tracker, we’re up to a pace of 1.74 million vaccinations in the country, on average, now. Meanwhile, a new coronavirus vaccine from Johnson & Johnson has been authorized for emergency use in the US, meaning there’s now a mix of three COVID-19 vaccines that are helping get the pandemic under control. More vaccines being available, of course, makes the job of vaccinating everyone against the virus much easier — to the point that, now, the talk is turning to what comes after the race to get these shots into peoples’ arms as quickly as possible. To that point, just as people tend to get a flu vaccination once a year, now there’s discussion about how often we’ll need to receive a jab going forward to stay protected against the coronavirus.
