The news comes nearly one month after President Joe Biden hoped to reach the milestone.

In the past week, Florida has averaged 1,525 adult hospitalizations a day, and 35 daily pediatric hospitalizations. Both are the highest per capita rate in the nation, according to Jason Salemi, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of South Florida.

Biden is scheduled to give remarks on vaccination progress on Tuesday.
