- The pace of COVID vaccinations is picking up in the US, with the country now seeing about 1.26 million doses of coronavirus vaccine being administered each day on average.
- As this process continues, experts like White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci are warning, however, that people shouldn't expect normal life to immediately resume after being vaccinated.
- Here's why a warning against travel is still in place for those people, as well as encouragement to continue protection measures like wearing face masks.
As of the time of this writing on Friday afternoon, 27.3 million doses of coronavirus vaccine have been administered in the US since the massive vaccination campaign began in mid-December. That's according to Bloomberg's vaccine tracker, which also shows that the pace of COVID vaccinations in the US has picked up a bit -- to an average of 1.26 million doses per day.
In my own state of Tennessee, according to the same vaccine tracker, 2% of the state's population is now completely vaccinated against COVID-19, having received the full two-dose vaccine regimen at this point. Which is the kind of thing that's going to increasingly make 2021, in a way, even weirder than 2020.
Last year, everyone was in the same boat. We all hunkered down together. Everyone was scared of this new virus. We all learned about it in real-time, and we all hoped that science could fast-track a mix of vaccines. Now we come to 2021 -- a growing number of people have been fully vaccinated against the virus. But not everyone. And the ones who've been vaccinated, they're still in the weird state of being told they can breathe easier, since the virus likely won't infect them anymore -- but experts like White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci are still cautioning those people to be patient. Even though you've been vaccinated, you can't go back to normal life just yet.
