Biden urges Americans to get vaccinated as Delta cases surge

United States President Joe Biden has called for more Americans to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations, saying millions are “still unvaccinated and unprotected”. President Biden said the number of those who have not been vaccinated is a “concern” due to a surge in Delta variant cases. “Study after study has shown that since early May, virtually every COVID-19 hospitalisation, and death in the United States, has been among the unvaccinated,” he said.
