The milestone comes roughly eight months after the United States launched its mass vaccination drive. The agency said 165,918,256 people, or 50 per cent of the total US population was fully vaccinated, while 182,368,493 people, or 70.6 per cent of the adult population, in the country had received at least one dose.
The United States had administered 349,787,479 doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country as of Friday morning and distributed 405,102,715 doses. The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, as well as Johnson & Johnson's one-shot vaccine as of 6am ET on Friday.
