COVID-19 Vaccination: Selected U.S. Data
Sources
Updated June 23, 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. 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: U.S. Data Systems and Related Issues.
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,
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, doses are delivered to the appropriate state and jurisdictional
sites. States then allocate and distribute doses to health departments, health care systems, and multi-
county entities, which can further re-allocate to local physician offices and other clinical sites. Providers
then administer doses to patients and report administration data to jurisdictions and CDC. (See CDC's
How COVID-19 Vaccines Get to You and About COVID-19 Vaccine Delivered and Administration Data).
Federal health care programs (e.g., Veterans Health Administration) 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. A third, J&J/Janssen, is a single-dose vaccine.
