COVID-19 Vaccination: Selected U.S. Data
Sources
Updated May 25, 2021
The sources below can help congressional staff track the progress of the U.S. Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) vaccination campaign at the national, state, and local levels.
Sources were selected for having commonly cited and frequently requested data. This list is not intended
to be comprehensive. 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).
For an overview of vaccine data systems and considerations for Congress, see CRS Insight IN11584,
Tracking COVID-19 Vaccines: US. Data Systems and Related Issues.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) COVID-19 Vaccine website can assist
constituents with questions, including How Do I Find a Vaccine?
Example data sources on public attitudes toward vaccination include Census Bureau (HHS analysis),
University of Southern California, Kaiser Family Foundation, Carnegie Mellon University, AP-NORC,
Pew, and scholarly articles.
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 delivered (i.e., distributed) to the appropriate state
and jurisdictional sites. States then follow a subsequent allocation and distribution pattern to health
departments, health care systems, and multi-county entities within their jurisdictions. Doses are then
administered to patients by these providers that report administration data to jurisdictions and CDC. (See
CDC's How COVID-19 Vaccines Get to You.) Federal health care programs (e.g., Indian Health Service)
manage and report vaccine data through a similar process.
Two of the vaccines currently approved, Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, require two doses for full
effectiveness. Athird, J&J/Janssen, is a single-dose vaccine.
