3 Traveling Healthcare Workers on Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine
February 25, 2021
As of February 25, more than 66 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the U.S., and just over 13 percent of the total U.S. population has received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to data from the CDC.
