The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States of America  (USA ) said that more than 80 million and 540,474 people had received anti-coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines as of Wednesday morning.

Data of the centers unveiled that local health authorities  have4 distributed 107 million 28,890 doses.

The centers explained that the results of the vaccines distributed across the country belong to both "Moderna" and "Pfizer / Biontech" until 6:00 am Wednesday, EST.

According to the census, the centers donated 78,631,601 doses of vaccines and distributed 102,353,940 doses.

The centers said that 52,855,579 people had received one or more doses of vaccines, while 26,957,804 people had received the second dose by Wednesday.

It pointed out that a total of 7,218,655 doses of vaccines were given in long-term care facilities.

On the other hand, US President Joe Biden criticized the decision taken by governors of the states of Texas and Mississippi to cancel mandatory masks wearing in public places  and lift trade restrictions, saying it was a "fatal mistake."

Biden stressed, in a statement from the White House, that "the last thing we need is a rudimentary thinking that everything is fine."

In turn, commented White House press secretary Jane Psaki, on the decision of the two states, saying that "the whole country paid a price, because of political leaders who ignored the science when it comes to the  pandemic."

It is worth noting that the Governor of Mississippi, Tate Reeves announced in a tweet via "Twitter" that "starting from Wednesday, the local authorities  will lift all mandates for masks in state province and companies will be able to operate at full capacity without any rules imposed by the state."

This decision came after Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that the state will cancel the decision to wear masks, and all establishments will open from March 10, indicating that Texas will remove restrictions imposed on determining the number of customers who can enter restaurants.
