Almost 130 million people 18 or older, or about 50.4% of the total U.S. adult population, have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As of Sunday night, the CDC said a total of 84 million people in the U.S. are fully vaccinated. So far, more than 3 million around the world have died due to COVID-19, per a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
There's no end in sight, however, for America's fight against the coronavirus. Cases and hospitalizations are on the rise again as a key vaccine is still on hold. In Los Angeles, residents lined up at a super site for a vaccine.
"It's important to get vaccinated to like simmer down the virus," one resident told CBS News.
Adding to the anxiety, a smaller supply the Johnson & Johnson vaccine pause following six rare cases of blood clots.
Dr. Anthony Fauci told CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday that the vaccine could return to arms after the CDC reviews it on Friday.
"One of the possibilities would be to bring them back, but to do it with some form of restriction or some form of warning," Fauci told moderator Margaret Brennan.
