The vaccination roll-out has been what we should've expected from Team Stoopid, but it's starting to pick up, even if just a little.

So...


At least 6.7 million people have been vaccinated in the U.S. 22.1 million doses have been distributed.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require a follow-up shot three or four weeks after the first dose. The CDC is not yet reporting information on people who have received the follow-up shot. Information displayed at this time on allocations and vaccine administrations are all for the first shot only. Additional allocations have been set aside for the second doses.

Most states have adopted CDC guidelines and are prioritizing health-care workers and nursing home residents and staff. Next up are frontline essential workers, including first responders, teachers, day-care staff, grocery store workers and prison guards, and adults 75 and over, the latest CDC federal guidance recommends. Third in line are those with preexisting conditions such as diabetes, heart problems or obesity, and adults between 65 and 74. The National Academy of Sciences and a CDC advisory committee spent several months crafting recommendations that would stop the spread of the disease and offset health inequities.

States have discretion in setting their own vaccination priorities. Some are prioritizing people who received placebos in completed vaccination studies, or are vaccinating the elderly before a bevy of first responders.

Executives at Stanford Health were criticized for putting themselves ahead of front-line workers. And politicians from the White House and the Congress to governors’ suites around the country are getting vaccinated, despite not being on top of official priority lists.
