In parts of the Midwest and South, in specific, vaccine rates per 100,000 people still remain fairly low compared with the Northeast and parts of the West Coast, according to information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Tuesdays figures follow a research study this week showing that a brand-new vaccine, one made by Novavax, is 100% efficient against the original pressure of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, and 93% efficient against other versions.
The next step is for the business to look for regulative approval from the Food and Drug Administration, which has released emergency permissions for 3 other vaccines– ones made by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & & Johnson.
The U.S. death toll, according to Johns Hopkins University, stood at 600,012 on Tuesday afternoon. Even so, the cumulative number of deaths in the nation clearly shows the current favorable impact of vaccines: Barely a month passed in between 400,000 and a half-million deaths, however it has actually taken nearly 4 times as long to reach the 600,000 mark. At the same time, the trend in the number of new infections, which has actually closely mirrored deaths, reached a peak in January of more than 300,000 in a single day.
More than 15 months given that the very first verified death due to COVID-19 in the U.S., the coronavirus pandemic has declared more than 600,000 lives across the nation. There are now about 375 deaths per day on average– down from more than 3,000 per day in January.
