Fox News
White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeff Zients on Monday noted a “positive trend” across several southern states with an uptick in the number of people receiving the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Louisiana has reported a 302% increase in the number of newly vaccinated people per day, Zients said during a White House briefing, with Mississippi reporting a 250% increase, and Alabama and Arkansas reporting a 215% and 206% increase, respectively. "This increase in vaccination rates in states that have been lagging is a positive trend," Zients said. "Americans are seeing the risk and impact of being unvaccinated and responding with action and that’s what it's going to take to get us out of this pandemic."More Related News
