Providers are administering about 1.66 million doses per day on average.

President Biden has promised to administer 100 million vaccines by his 100th day in office.
The United States is administering, on average, more than 1.5 million doses of the coronavirus
vaccine a day, a goal the president set shortly after taking office last month, despite criticism
that it was not ambitious enough.
Federal regulators have given emergency approval to vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech
and Moderna. Both vaccines require patients to receive two doses spaced weeks apart.
The federal government has delivered about 69 million doses to states, territories and federal
agencies.
When Might a Majority of People Have Been Vaccinated?Some experts have estimated that
70 to 90 percent of the population needs to acquire resistance to the coronavirus to reach herd
immunity, when transmission of the virus substantially slows because enough people have been
protected through infection or vaccination.
A number of factors will determine how quickly this threshold is met, especially the pace at
which newly vaccinated people join those who are immune after past infections. But the
presence of more transmissible virus variants could complicate that progress.
The projection below only shows the share of the total population with at least one shot based
on the current rate of vaccination, but it provides a rough indication of when the virus’s spread
could begin to stall.
When a given share of the U.S. population might be at least partially vaccinatedThe current
vaccination rate is based on average daily increase in first doses administered over the past
week.
Average daily first doses in last 7 days: 989,337
Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | Note: Data from Dec. 20 to Jan. 12
are for all doses administered. Data for Jan. 13 is unavailable. Projections could change
if additional vaccines are authorized.
If the country maintains its current pace of administering first doses, about half of the total
population would be at least partially vaccinated around late June, and nearly all around
early November, assuming supply pledges are met and vaccines are eventually available
to children.
