More than 26 million people are infected with the coronavirus in the United States, who, after months immersed in the vaccination campaign to immunize the population against the disease, have registered more vaccinated (of at least one dose) than COVID cases – 19.

Since Monday, more Americans have received a dose of the vaccine than have been infected 26.5 million people have received one or both doses of the immunization, according to the data collected by the Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker, compared to the 26.3 million people who tested positive.
