COVID-19 Vaccine Doses: Selected Data

Sources on Allocation, Distribution, and

Administration



February 8,   2021

The selected sources below can help congressional staff track the progress of the U.S. COVID-19
vaccination campaign at the national, state, and local levels.
Sources were selected for having commonly cited and frequently requested data. This is not intended to
be a comprehensive source list. Additional sources may be added in future updates. Because different
resources use different methodologies, readers should check websites' notes, definitions, and caveats.
Readers should also use caution when comparing data across sources or geographies. For assistance in
interpreting or analyzing these data, congressional staff should contact CRS (202-707-5700, or place a
request at the CRS website). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) COVID-19
Vaccine website can assist constituents with vaccine questions, including How Do I Get a Vaccine?
For an overview of vaccine data systems and considerations for Congress, see CRS Insight IN11584,

About Vaccine Data

In the COVID-19 vaccine program, doses are first allocated and made available to states and other
jurisdictions for ordering. Once ordered, vaccines are distributed to the appropriate state and other
jurisdiction sites. Doses are then administered to patients by providers that also report administration data
to jurisdictions and CDC. The vaccines currently approved (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) require two
doses for full effectiveness. Federal health care programs (e.g., Indian Health Service) manage and report
vaccine data through a similar process.


CDC Sources

CDC's  COVID  Data Tracker tracks total doses distributed, total doses administered, the number of people
who have received at least one dose, and the number of people who have received two doses. The map
shows counts and per capita distribution and administered (per 100,000 population). Data are available
