SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The United States is on track for a major vaccination milestone on Tuesday: Fully vaccinating half of all adults against COVID-19.
About 49.8% of the U.S. 18 years and older population has been fully vaccinated, the CDC's latest data from Monday shows.
In actual numbers, that's nearly 130 million adults.
Fully vaccinated means that a person has received both doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine - or the one dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine. A person doesn't have full protection until it's been two weeks since the final dose, according to the CDC.
Even younger teens are getting there: The CDC reports that 46.6% of people in the U.S. who are at least 12 years and older have been fully vaccinated, within a month of Pfizer receiving FDA authorization to vaccinate younger teens.
California's data shows that 49% of its total eligible statewide population is fully vaccinated as of Monday. An average of 234,526 doses are being administered in the state per day.
