Expert also warns those reluctant to get the shot are ‘extremely vulnerable’ to the Delta variant of the coronavirus
The US is unlikely to meet Joe Biden’s target of getting at least 70% of Americans at least partially vaccinated by the Fourth of July holiday, as a top expert warned on Wednesday that those reluctant to take the shot are “extremely vulnerable” to the Delta variant of the coronavirus, originating in India.
The Delta variant has become the dominant strain among new cases in the UK and even though new cases of Covid-19 are down more than 90% in the US since January of this year, the new variant is spreading.
