The US is pushing to have 70% of adults get at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine by July 4. An expert says that number is important to reach at the state level too — and those states who are falling well below may be vulnerable to another outbreak.

"There are 12 states that are already at 70%. I worry about the ones that are way below that, and they are sitting ducks for the next outbreak of Covid-19 -- which shouldn't have to happen now," National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins told CNN's Chris Cuomo.Sixty-three percent of adults have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose, according to data published Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The seven-day average of newly administered doses has fallen below 1 million per day for the first time since January, according to data from the CDC.Read MoreThe director of the CDC said that there is no magic target for herd immunity, but that she thinks getting to 70% would go a long way toward protecting the community."We have pockets of this country that have lower rates of vaccination," Dr. Rochelle Walensky said.

Fully vaccinated & feels good. But I’m still wearing a mask & keeping my distance.

They’ve had their chances. They’ve had plenty of education. They have plenty of access. Now, it’s on them. If they want to be selfish and not get the vaccine, I’m no longer feeling sorry for them if they get sick.

It really shouldn't bother anyone if Trump Twits get Covid.

Most of those States are playing politics with it & they really don't have a very good track record for being right. So it is what it is.

Twelve U.S. states have 70% of adults at least partially vaccinatedCDC data shows that about 51% of Americans have received at least one Covid vaccine dose and about 41% are fully vaccinated. Keep up the good work. Let’s get everyone vaccinated. No fear just great science. Thank You Scientists. Good Luck 😉 More would be vaccinated now if the CDC hadn't absurdly and abruptly removed indoor mask mandate. The most short-sighted incompetent act that wreaks of politics and economic considerations and very little 'listening to the science'.
