We have 280 million people eligible for COVID vaccines in the US.
The first 140 million got fully vaccinated ASAP. The final stretch will be the hardest.

I thought some people may be reluctant. But not this much: 95 million eligible but not yet fully vaccinated.
30 million of these have had one dose. So I am hopeful they will get fully vaccinated soon.
That leave 65 million eligible people who have not had even one dose yet.

Out of these even if one third has some degree of immunity from prior COVID, it still leaves 40 million eligible people completely susceptible. That is a lot of people.

We also have to protect and take care of kids who are not eligible for vaccines yet.

And frontline health care workers who In addition to getting burnt out, are working in settings with potential for repeated and high dose viral exposure. They are being careful with PPE the best they can. But it's still an area of concern.
