Although the launch of COVID-19 vaccination has made a good start, the United States has not only failed to achieve its goals in terms of the number of people protected by COVID-19. In terms of vaccination rates, it does not lag behind other countries in the world.
according to New York Times Vaccination Tracker, The United States has seen that 56% of the population has been vaccinated against COVID-19 at least once (three of which have been authorized for emergency use in the United States). 48% of the population was vaccinated. However, compared with other countries that have been slow to promote vaccines, the United States now lags behind other densely populated countries, ranking 6th in terms of how many people have been vaccinated at least once, and 4th behind other populations. Residents with fully vaccinated.
In these two categories, the United States is completely ahead of the United States, where 69% of people have been vaccinated once and 53% are fully vaccinated; in Spain, 62% of people have been vaccinated at least once, and 50% are fully vaccinated Vaccines; and in Canada, 70% of the population has been vaccinated at least once, and 49% of the population is now fully vaccinated. Although Germany and Italy are lower than the United States in terms of the number of fully vaccinated populations, Germany and Italy also surpass the United States in terms of the percentage of people who have been vaccinated at least once, and both countries are currently at 60%.
Although the population of the United States is indeed much higher than that of these five countries, the fact that it is beginning to fall behind is worrying The number of cases and deaths started to rise It reappears in Delta Variant, which has relaxed restrictions and swarmed.although Largest proportion of cases The vast majority occurred in the unvaccinated population, and concerns about another surge in the country caused some pandemic restrictions to come into force again.
As the new vaccination rate is ahead of the United States, Canada (and also ahead of the vaccination rate in the G20 countries) may begin to reopen its borders to U.S. travelers after 16 months of closure. Reported by the BBC. However, it only applies to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been vaccinated, and they may be welcomed back in mid-August for non-essential travel.
However, as the United States lags behind and still suffers from declining vaccination rates, even if other countries open their borders, if the surge continues to grow and start to rival the original virus in 2020, citizens may be forced to deal with their domestic restrictions. Several other countries are also contending with their own borders.
Although the United States as a whole may not be that strict, since each state has its own government, if the case becomes serious enough, some states (such as New York and California) that are more vigilant about restrictions may expect Some countries in EuropeThe Associated Press reported that in France, Greece and other places, vaccinations or proof of recovery from COVID-19 are required to enter restaurants, bars, shopping centers, public transportation and other areas.
As the number of cases in Los Angeles County increased again, California has lifted restrictions on requiring everyone to wear masks indoors, including those who are fully vaccinated.
If companies are forced to close due to the increase in cases and deaths, the surge could once again hinder economic growth and recovery.
