More Than 152 Million Shots
Given: Covid-19 Tracker
The biggest vaccination campaign in history is underway. More than 152 million doses have been administered across 75 countries, according to data collected by Bloomberg. The latest rate was roughly 5.64 million doses a day.
In the U.S., more Americans have now received at least one dose than have tested positive for the virus since the pandemic began. So far, 46 million doses have been given, according to a state-by-state tally. In the last week, an average of 1.57 million doses per day were administered.
Vaccines Across America
Across the U.S., 14.0 doses have been administered for every 100 people, and 70% of the shots delivered to states have been administered
The first stage of the U.S. rollout fell short of federal projections as vaccinations proceeded unevenly across the states. After focusing first on hospitals and other institutional health-care settings, the next phase of vaccinations will draw more on pharmacies and health clinics—places where vaccines are more traditionally administered—and will broaden the pool of people eligible to get the shots. Some states are turning sport stadiums and theme parks into mass vaccination centers.
The Path to Immunity in the U.S.
In the U.S., the latest vaccination rate is 1,573,075 doses per day, on average. At this rate, it will take an estimated 9 months to cover 75% of the population with a two-dose vaccine.
In an effort to speed up vaccinations after the rocky start, the U.S. government on Jan. 12 began encouraging states to start immunizing all residents 65 and older, along with those ages 16 and older with certain medical conditions. The directive would open vaccinations up to more than a third of the U.S. population. The Biden administration has said that it’s working to expand the supply of vaccines to help meet that goal.
How State Vaccinations Stack Up
Alaska leads all states with 22.2 doses administered per 100 people
Distribution of Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine, as well as Moderna’s shot is directed by the federal government. Both vaccines require two doses taken several weeks apart. So far, 34.6 million have received at least one dose. At least 11.1 million people have completed the two-dose vaccination regimen.
U.S. Vaccination Campaign
Global Effort to Stop Covid
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has now been cleared for use across North America, Europe and the Middle East, and vaccination campaigns have begun in at least 75 countries. That shot and the vaccine from Moderna were both found to reduce coronavirus infections by 95% in trials of tens of thousands of volunteers. A vaccine by AstraZeneca Plc and University of Oxford got its first major authorization, by the U.K., on Dec. 30.
Other countries got a head start on vaccinations. China and Russia authorized their own shots in July and August, before they’d been fully tested. Since then, the countries have administered millions of doses, though they provide less frequent updates on their progress.
