Vaccination and booster coverage varies widely by age, in part because older adults became eligible first. In addition,booster eligibilitydepends on the time since an individual’s last shot. Vaccinations also vary among states, and jurisdictions with lower adult vaccination rates also tend to have reduced coverage among children and teens.
How Quickly Are Shots Going in Arms?
In June, the C.D.C. began reporting administered shots on a weekly basis. For the past seven days, providers reported that they have administered 5.05 million doses, which is roughly 722,000 doses per day on average, including first, second and additional or booster doses.

*Includes doses provided to Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands.
There aremany reasons eligible people are not vaccinatedorboosted. Surveys have indicated that some people are adamant in their refusal of the coronavirus vaccines, while others are open to getting a shot but have been putting it off or want to wait and see before making a decision for themselves or fortheir children.
The first group, surveys have shown, tends to be disproportionately white, rural, evangelical Christian and Republican. The second group tends to be a more diverse and urban group, including many younger people, Black and Latino residents, and Democrats.
Are the Most Vulnerable Counties Being Vaccinated?
Speed hasn’t been the only priority for the country’s vaccination campaign. The Biden administration has alsocommittedto distributing shots equitably to the communities most affected by the pandemic.
More than a year into the rollout, the most socially vulnerable counties in the U.S. have a lower vaccination rate on average than the nation’s least vulnerable. A majority of the most disadvantaged counties with the fewest fully vaccinated people are in the South, while the most vaccinated, least vulnerable counties are in the Midwest and the Northeast.
Vaccination rates by county social vulnerability
Percentage of fully-vaccinated residents. Circles sized by county population.
Counties are ranked according to theSocial Vulnerability Index, a C.D.C. indicator used in public health crises that is based on socioeconomic status, housing, transportation, race, ethnicity and language. Eachcounty’s vaccination rateis its share of all residents that have been fully vaccinated, a figure that does not reflect those who have received only one dose of a two-shot vaccine.
Who Is Eligible for a Vaccine?
Everyone6 months and olderis now eligible for a coronavirus vaccine, after the Food and Drug Administration authorized the use of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for those under 5 in June.
Four coronavirus vaccines are in use across the country, including the two-dose mRNA vaccines developed byPfizer and Moderna, the two-dose protein-based vaccinefrom Novavaxand theJohnson & Johnson one-dose vaccine. Although Johnson & Johnson is still available for use, regulators havesuggestedthat people should opt for one of the mRNA vaccines because of concerns about a rare but serious blood clotting condition among those who received the company’s shot.
The vaccine rollout began in December 2020, with a focus on some of the most vulnerable populations, including health care workers, residents of long-term care facilities and people 65 and older. Although eligibility for these groups initially varied by state and county, every state had made all adults eligible for the shots by April 2021, according to a Times survey.
In May 2021, the F.D.A. extended its emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine to children12 and older.
Then in August 2021, regulators gave emergency use authorization for people with weakened immune systems to get a third dose of the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccines, and they expanded that authorization in September and October to includebooster shots for many residents. Regulators opened up booster eligibility toall adultsin November and tochildren ages 12 to 17in January 2022. The F.D.A. recommendedsecond boostershots for people 50 and older, and for individuals withcertain immune deficienciesin March 2022.
Thefederal government formally approvedthe Pfizer vaccine for those 16 and older in August 2021, the first full approval of a Covid-19 vaccine in the country. Emergency use authorization of the vaccine continues for those ages 5 to 15 and for those receiving additional doses. In late January 2022, the F.D.A. grantedfull approvalto Moderna’s vaccine, which can be administered to adults.
About the Data
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Nov. 30, 2021, that its vaccination figures may overestimate first doses and underestimate booster doses, as shot order isn’t consistently collected when individuals get boosters. This potential overestimate in the federal data is particularly noticeable in the 65-and-older group. Additional details can be found in theC.D.C.’s footnotes.
The C.D.C. now provides weekly updates of its data on vaccines administered and reports detailed noteshere, including historical revisions from individual states, which can result in additions or subtractions.
The federal data may differ from that reported by states and territories, which may post on different schedules.
The C.D.C. notes that total doses administered are based on the location where the vaccine was given, and that in limited cases, people may get a vaccine outside their place of residency. As of Feb. 23, 2021, the C.D.C. reports the number of people receiving one or more doses based on where individuals reside.
In addition to delivering vaccines to states, territories and some federal agencies, the C.D.C. also distributes doses to three small countries that have specialagreements with the U.S. government: Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands. Doses used in these locations are included in total U.S. figures.

Since 2021, more than 13 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered globally. According to a June 2022 study, COVID‑19 vaccines prevented an additional 14.4 to 19.8 million deaths in 185 countries and territories from 8 December 2020 to 8 December 2021. In 2020, the first COVID‑19 vaccines were developed and made available to the public through emergency authorizations and conditional approvals. The rapidly growing infection rate of COVID‑19 worldwide during 2020 stimulated international alliances and government efforts to urgently organize resources to make multiple vaccines on shortened timelines, with four vaccine candidates entering human evaluation in March (see ). However, immunity from the vaccines has been found to wane over time, requiring people to get of the vaccine to maintain protection against COVID‑19. Through this process, we establish that COVID-19 vaccines remain safe worldwide. As with all vaccines, WHO and regulatory authorities continuously monitor the use of COVID-19 vaccines to identify and respond to any safety issues that might arise. According to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), the geographic distribution of COVID‑19 vaccine development shows North American entities to have about 40% of the activity, compared to 30% in Asia and Australia, 26% in Europe, and a few projects in South America and Africa. One attempt at such a vaccine is being developed at the . For this, it is key to bring together the vaccination data with data on COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 deaths. As new vaccines are developed during the COVID‑19 pandemic, licensure of COVID‑19 vaccine candidates requires submission of a full dossier of information on development and manufacturing quality. As of 1 May 2024 , 13.58 billion doses of COVID‑19 vaccines have been administered worldwide, based on official reports from . The United Kingdom government formed a COVID‑19 vaccine in April 2020 to stimulate local efforts for accelerated development of a vaccine through collaborations between industries, universities, and government agencies. “It’s not just the scale of the vaccine operation but putting that on top of what states are already dealing with.” © 2024 Cable News Network.

As the vaccine rollout continues, it is imperative that all stakeholders work together to overcome the remaining challenges and ensure that every American has access to this life-saving protection. The success of this national effort will depend on our collective commitment to public health and our ability to navigate the complexities of this unprecedented undertaking. 



##  12.4 Million COVID-19 Vaccine Doses Distributed: Where Are They Going?

The U.S. government announced today that over 12.4 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been distributed to states and other jurisdictions, marking a significant milestone in the nation's fight against the pandemic. This unprecedented effort to vaccinate a vast population presents unique logistical challenges, requiring a coordinated effort between federal, state, and local governments, as well as private actors.

While the distribution of 12.4 million doses is a positive step, it represents only a fraction of the hundreds of millions of doses experts believe are needed to achieve herd immunity. The sheer scale and speed required for this rollout are unprecedented in U.S. history.  

The government is leveraging existing infrastructure and experience from past mass vaccination campaigns, but the COVID-19 vaccine rollout presents new and complex hurdles. Ensuring equitable distribution, addressing vaccine hesitancy, and managing the cold-chain storage requirements of some vaccines are just a few of the challenges facing health officials.

Adding to the complexity is the evolving landscape of global vaccine distribution. While some countries have secured enough vaccines to cover their entire population, concerns remain about the efficacy and transparency surrounding vaccines produced in other countries, including China, which has distributed billions of doses worldwide.

To effectively track progress and identify best practices, experts emphasize the need for timely and comparable data across all states and jurisdictions. This data will be crucial for understanding the effectiveness of different distribution strategies and identifying areas where improvements can be made.

The success of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout is critical not only for protecting individuals but also for mitigating the economic and social impacts of the pandemic. As the vaccination campaign continues, ongoing transparency and collaboration will be essential to ensuring that all Americans have access to this life-saving intervention. 



## Millions of COVID-19 Vaccine Doses Distributed: Where Are They Going?

The Biden administration announced today that over 12.4 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been distributed to states and other jurisdictions across the country. This milestone marks a significant step in the ambitious national vaccination effort, but many challenges remain as the government works to inoculate a majority of the US population.

This unprecedented undertaking presents a logistical puzzle unlike any the country has faced before. While the US has experience with mass vaccination campaigns, the sheer scale and speed required for COVID-19 immunization are staggering. Hundreds of millions of doses need to be distributed in record time, requiring a coordinated effort between federal, state, and local governments, as well as private healthcare providers.

The distribution process is further complicated by ongoing debates over the division of responsibilities between different levels of government and private entities. Determining who is in charge of what, from procurement and storage to administration and tracking, is crucial for ensuring a smooth and equitable rollout.

While the government has pledged to provide adequate supplies, concerns remain about the accessibility and availability of vaccines in certain areas. Rural communities and underserved populations may face additional hurdles in accessing vaccination sites and overcoming logistical barriers.

Transparency and data sharing are paramount to understanding the progress and effectiveness of the vaccination campaign. Real-time, comparable data across states will allow for the identification of successful strategies and the addressing of disparities in vaccine distribution.

The success of the national vaccination effort hinges on a multifaceted approach that prioritizes equity, transparency, and collaboration. Continuous evaluation and adaptation will be crucial to overcome the unprecedented challenges posed by this historic public health crisis.

As the nation embarks on this monumental task, the distribution of these initial 12.4 million doses represents a hopeful first step towards achieving widespread immunity and ultimately, a return to normalcy. 

## 12.4 Million Covid-19 Vaccine Doses Distributed: Where Are the Shots Going?

The U.S. government announced today that it has successfully distributed over 12.4 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine to states and other jurisdictions, marking a significant milestone in the country's ambitious vaccination campaign. This unprecedented effort faces unique challenges, requiring the distribution of hundreds of millions of doses within a short timeframe to achieve widespread immunity.

While this distribution represents a major step forward, the process is complex and raises crucial questions about the division of responsibility between federal, state, and local governments, as well as the role of private entities.  

Historically, mass vaccine distributions in the U.S. have been smaller in scale and scope compared to the COVID-19 vaccination drive. While past experiences provide valuable lessons, the sheer magnitude of this undertaking presents new and unforeseen hurdles.

The distribution landscape is further complicated by the global context. Many countries, including those with significantly smaller populations, have managed to vaccinate a larger percentage of their citizens. This disparity raises concerns about vaccine accessibility and equity on a global scale. Notably, China has distributed billions of vaccine doses worldwide, prompting questions about the efficacy and safety of these vaccines compared to those used in the U.S.

To effectively track progress and identify best practices, timely and comparable data on vaccine distribution across states and countries is crucial. This data will allow researchers to analyze successful vaccination strategies and understand the factors contributing to varying levels of success.

While the U.S. has seen a significant reduction in new Covid-19 infections thanks to vaccination efforts, states with lower vaccination rates began experiencing a surge in cases fueled by the highly contagious Delta variant by July 2021. This resurgence highlights the urgency of achieving widespread immunity and the importance of equitable vaccine distribution to protect vulnerable populations.

The government's announcement of 12.4 million doses distributed is a positive development, but the path ahead remains challenging. Continued transparency, collaboration, and data-driven decision-making will be essential to ensuring the successful rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine and ultimately overcoming the pandemic. 

## The Great American Vaccine Race: 12.4 Million Doses Deployed, But Battles Remain

**Washington, D.C.** - The Biden administration announced today the distribution of over 12.4 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to states and other jurisdictions, marking a significant milestone in the nation's fight against the pandemic. This unprecedented effort represents the largest vaccination campaign in U.S. history, with a monumental goal of inoculating hundreds of millions of Americans.

However, the rollout has not been without its challenges. Navigating the complex logistical web required to distribute and administer hundreds of millions of doses in a short timeframe has presented unique hurdles. While the U.S. has prior experience with mass vaccination programs, the scale and speed required for COVID-19 vaccination are unprecedented.

**Federalism and Responsibility:**

A key challenge lies in defining the roles of various entities involved. The federal government plays a critical role in procuring and distributing the vaccines, but the actual administration falls largely on states and local health departments. 

This division of responsibility has raised questions about accountability and clarity. While some states have embraced aggressive vaccination campaigns, others have struggled, resulting in uneven distribution and raising concerns about equity and access.

**A Race Against Time & Variants:**

The emergence of highly infectious variants like the Delta variant has underscored the urgency of the nationwide vaccination effort. States with lagging vaccination rates have witnessed alarming spikes in cases, highlighting the need for swift and widespread immunization.

**Learning From Global Efforts:**

While the U.S. grapples with its own vaccine rollout, other countries have made remarkable progress. Nations like Israel and the United Arab Emirates have achieved remarkably high vaccination rates, demonstrating the feasibility of mass immunization even in the face of logistical complexities.

These successes offer valuable lessons for the U.S. as it strives to achieve herd immunity.

**Transparency and Data:**

Access to timely and accurate data is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of the vaccine rollout and identifying areas that require improvement.  Experts call for a centralized, nationwide database to track vaccine distribution, administration, and side effects, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the vaccination campaign's progress.


The race to vaccinate America is far from over. As the government continues to distribute millions of doses, ensuring equitable access, addressing logistical challenges, and leveraging best practices from around the world will be critical to achieving widespread immunity and ending the pandemic's grip on the nation.

Title: A Deep Dive into the COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution: 12.4 Million Doses and Counting

The government has announced the distribution of over 12.4 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to states and other jurisdictions. This landmark achievement is a significant step towards achieving an adequate level of protection against the virus. However, there are still many outstanding issues concerning the roles and responsibilities of different levels of government and private actors in distributing the vaccine.

The vaccine distribution process for COVID-19 is unprecedented in the United States. With hundreds of millions of doses needing to be distributed in a short period, this task presents unique challenges. While the U.S. has some experience with mass vaccine distribution, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout will need to be at a much greater scale than past efforts.

Despite the challenges, many countries, including the U.S., have managed to distribute more than enough vaccines to cover their entire population. Developing countries have also managed to do the same directly or indirectly through vehicles like COVAX. However, concerns have grown about the efficacy of other COVID-19 vaccines, including China's, which has distributed billions of doses globally.

To understand the scale and rate of the vaccine rollout, timely, comparable data across countries is essential. Researchers have used such data to identify countries with particularly effective vaccine rollouts, thereby enabling analyses of how this was achieved.

While vaccines have helped significantly reduce the number of new COVID-19 infections nationwide, states with below-average vaccination rates began to see increasing numbers of cases credited to the highly infectious Delta variant by July 2021. This development led to an increased push by health officials to encourage more people to get vaccinated.

The vaccine distribution process is a complex and challenging task, but the progress made so far is promising. With continued collaboration and coordination between government agencies, private actors, and the public, we can look forward to a future where COVID-19 is no longer a threat to public health.

In conclusion, the distribution of over 12.4 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine is a significant milestone in the fight against the pandemic. While there are still many challenges to overcome, the progress made so far is a testament to the power of collaboration and innovation. As we continue to distribute vaccines and work towards achieving herd immunity, we must also remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to protect ourselves and our communities from the virus.
Title: A Comprehensive Look at the Distribution of 12.4 Million Covid-19 Vaccine Doses in the US

The US government has announced the distribution of over 12.4 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines to states and other jurisdictions.
