See How Vaccinations Are Going in Your County and State


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday about 158.4 million people have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, including about 124.5 million people who have been fully vaccinated by Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine or the two-dose series made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

Sixty percent of adults have received at least one shot. President Biden set a goal on May 4 of reaching 70 percent of adults by July 4.

Providers are administering about 1.77 million doses per day on average, about a 48 percent decrease from the peak of 3.38 million reported on April 13.

Figures show the date shots were reported, rather than the date shots were given and include first and second doses of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, and single doses of Johnson & Johnson.

In December, federal regulators gave emergency use authorization to two-dose vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Regulators authorized Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose vaccine in February, but recommended a pause in its use on April 13 because of reports of blood clots in a small number of patients. 

All 50 states paused or recommended that providers pause those vaccinations. The government ended the Johnson & Johnson pause on April 23, clearing the way for states to resume vaccinations.
