About 35.2 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been administered in the United States, according to data published Thursday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC reported that 35,203,710 total doses have been administered, about 61% of the 57,489,675 doses distributed.
That’s about 1.3 more administered doses reported since yesterday, which is also the seven-day average of doses administered daily.
About 8.5% of the US population – nearly 28 million people – have now received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine. Nearly 7 million people, or 2%, have been fully vaccinated, CDC data shows.
