COVID-19 Vaccination: Selected U.S. Data
Sources
Updated August 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. Because different resources use different methodologies, readers should check
websites' notes and caveats, and use caution when comparing data. For assistance in interpreting or
analyzing these data, congressional staff should contact CRS (202) 707-5700, or place a request at CRS's
website.
For an overview of data systems and considerations for Congress, see CRS Insight IN11584, Tracking
COVID-19 Vaccines: US. Data Systems and Related Issues.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Vaccines for COVID-19 website can assist
constituents with questions about the vaccine and how to get vaccinated.
Example data sources on public attitudes toward vaccination include CDC's National Immunization
Survey and State of Vaccine Confidence Insights Report, Census Bureau (HHS analysis), Kaiser F aily
Foundation, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Washington, 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 (i.e., 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 toYou 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.
Comirnaty (formerly known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine) is approved as a two-dose
vaccine for individuals aged 16+. Comirnaty remains authorized for emergency use only for individuals
