These cities have reached Biden's 70% vaccination goal -- and beyond
Seattle has become the first U.S. city to fully vaccinate 70% of eligible residents.
In May, President Joe Biden set a goal for 70% of U.S. adults to receive at lease one dose of the vaccine by July 4 in the sprint to end the coronavirus crisis.
Mayor Jenny A. Durkan announced Wednesday that Seattle went a step further and became the first “major American city” to hit that percent with fully vaccinated residents, also adding that 78% of Seattle's population aged 12 and older have received their first dose of the shot.
"It would not have been possible without our residents’ commitment to protecting themselves, their loved ones, and our entire community," she said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Denver has crossed the milestone of administering at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to 70% of its population.
