U.S. Hits Another Vaccine Milestone Made Possible Thanks To Senate Democrats and Pres. Biden’s American Rescue Plan

The United States hit another major vaccine milestone over the weekend and now at least 50% of states have “fully vaccinated at least half of their adults” as of Sunday. Nationally, over 60% of American adults have received at least one dose and nearly 50% are fully vaccinated. 

This enormous achievement is a major step in the U.S.’s efforts to defeat this pandemic and jumpstart a robust recovery. And as the U.S. economy begins to rebuild, experts are crediting the strengthening job market with the “strong pace of Covid-19 vaccines.” 

The milestone was made possible thanks to the American Rescue Plan –– which every Senate Democrat voted for and every single GOP senator opposed.

Reminder: every Republican Senator is on the record voting against a relief package that has:

• Delivered $1,400 direct relief checks
• Ramped up access to vaccines and testing
• Provided additional local funding to help schools safely reopen
• Sent critical aid to state and local governments to help keep first responders on the job
• Extended emergency unemployment insurance
• Boosted critical small business assistance
