OMAHA- A significant milestone has been reached in the fight against COVID-19 as half of adult Nebraskans, 774,000 people, have received at least one dose of a vaccine. In addition to that, some 531,000 people in the state are now fully vaccinated. Nebraska's rollout is on par with the nation at large.

More than 129 million people in the nation have received at least one shot as well. Health departments are changing how they reach people as traffic at vaccination clinics has slowed. Many clinics have started to offer walk-ins as no shows for appointments have also been on the rise. Officials are working to create Zoom meetings to reach people who are reluctant to take the vaccine as well.

The state is also down by 13% in cases after being on the rise for the past couple weeks.
