By contrast, 32.9 million people or 9.9 percent of the population had been fully vaccinated as of March 10. And 62.4 million people, or 18.8 percent, had gotten at least one dose.

Overall, 57.9 million people in the US were fully vaccinated while 101.8 million people have received at least one dose as of Friday, officials said.
