Track COVID Vaccination Rates With These Websites
Less than a month after the first COVID-19 vaccine was authorized for use in the US, the CDC says we have distributed 17 million doses and vaccinated 4.8 million people. (It takes two doses for full protection, so most people only get the first.) If you want to track the distribution of a vaccine here and abroad, here are websites to help you get there.
CDC Vaccine Tracking
The CDC page is here and it shows the total doses dispensed and administered, as well as a map showing how many people in the state received a dose of the vaccine, as shown in the image above.
You can look at a state map for either the number of people vaccinated per 100,000 population, or simply the total number of people currently vaccinated. There are also counters for US territories plus four agencies: Bureau of Prisons, Department of Defense, Indian Health Service, and Veterans Health Administration.
The page also lists the number of vaccines distributed and administered in long-term care facilities (such as nursing homes). To date, 3.2 million doses have been shipped for use at these sites, and just under half a million have been donated to residents and staff.
Global data
Our Data World has a page with many diagrams of vaccine use worldwide. You can view an animated map showing doses per 100,000 that increase over time, an animated bar graph, and other maps of total doses administered.
There are also maps and charts showing doses administered per day, both in general and as a percentage of the population. On another map, countries are color-coded according to their policies: whether they vaccinate one or more high-risk groups, or whether the vaccine is expected to be available to all. (The US is currently listed as vaccinating two vulnerable groups, although not all states follow CDC policies.)
