75% of U.S. adults partially vaccinated, children affected by Delta surge

Atlanta, September 8 (RHC)-- In the United States, the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that 75% of U.S. adults have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.  

The milestone was announced as the U.S. soared past 40 million reported cases of COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic, with the Delta variant continuing to fuel this summer’s surge.  Children currently make up more than a quarter of new cases nationwide.

In the U.S. state of Florida, 13 school employees of public schools in Miami-Dade have died from COVID since mid-August.  The district enacted a mask mandate despite efforts to ban the requirement by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.  

Local media in Florida report that all 13 COVID victims were African-American.
