COVID-19 Vaccination: Selected U.S. Data
Sources
Updated December 7, 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 and caveats, and use caution when comparing data. For help interpreting or analyzing
these data, congressional staff should contact CRS (202-707-5700, or place an online request).
For an overview of considerations for Congress, see CRS Insight IN11584, Tracking COVID-19 Vaccines:
U.S. Data Systems and Related Issues. For international sources, see CRS Insight IN11732, International
COVID-19 Data and Vaccine Distribution: Selected Resources.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Vaccines for COVID-19 can assist constituents
with questions about the vaccines.
Example sources on public attitudes toward vaccination include CDC's National Immunization Survey
and State of Vaccine Confidence Insights Report, Census Bureau, Kaiser Family Foundation, Carnegie
Mellon University, Johns Hopkins, 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 (distributed) to appropriate state and
jurisdictional sites. States then allocate and deliver doses to health departments, health care systems,
pharmacies, and multi-county entities, which can further re-allocate to local 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 vaccine data through a
similar process.
Comimaty (the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine) is approved as a two-dose vaccine for ages 16+.
Comimaty is also authorized for uses that fall outside the scope of its approval-that is, as a two-dose
