Is the US on the Brink of Another COVID-19 Surge?

Although more than 3 million COVID-19 shots are delivered daily across the United States, only about 18.5% of Americans are fully vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.

Public health experts suggest that a rise in COVID-19 variants, increased clusters among young people, and easing of COVID-19 restrictions are the cause of growing case numbers.
