Tanja Erichsen, the head of Denmark's medicines agency, collapsed during a press conference on the decision to stop using the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine. She was taken to hospital as a precaution and has reportedly recovered.
The U.S. vaccine program, meanwhile, continues to show good progress. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine tracker is showing that as of 6 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, 245.4 million doses had been delivered to states, 192.3 million doses had been administered, and 122.3 million people had received at least one shot, equal to 36.8% of the population. A full 75.3 million people, or 22.7% of the overall population, are fully vaccinated, meaning they have received two shots of the two-dose vaccines developed by Pfizer Inc. PFE, 1.41% and German partner BioNTech SE BNTX, 3.97% and Moderna Inc. MRNA, -0.91%, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson JNJ, 1.00% one-shot vaccine. The AstraZeneca vaccine has not been authorized for use in the U.S. Among Americans 65 and older, 34.2 million are fully vaccinated, equal to 62.5% of that group. More than 43 million people in that age bracket have received a first jab, covering 79.2% of that population.
The U.S. added at least 77,312 new COVID cases on Tuesday, according to a New York Times tracker, and at least 987 people died. The U.S. has averaged 71,215 cases a day for the last week, up 8% from the average two weeks ago.
