Federal regulators have ended the pause on Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine that the government on April 13 recommended, following reports of blood clots in a small number of patients. Officials say the overall risk of clots is extremely low.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Saturday about 138.6 million people have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, including about 93.1 million people who have been fully vaccinated by Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine or the two-dose series made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

Providers are administering about 2.82 million doses per day on average, about a 17 percent decrease from the peak of 3.38 million on April 13.

Figures show the date shots were reported, rather than the date shots were given and include first and second doses of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, and single doses of Johnson & Johnson.

President Biden originally promised to administer 100 million doses by his 100th day in office and later raised that goal to 200 million doses. The United States met that benchmark on April 22, a week before the president’s self-imposed deadline.

In December, federal regulators gave emergency use authorization to two-dose vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Regulators authorized Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose vaccine in February, but recommended a pause in its use on April 13 because of reports of blood clots in a small number of patients. All 50 states paused or recommended that providers pause those vaccinations. The government ended the Johnson & Johnson pause on April 23, clearing the way for states to resume vaccinations.

Johnson & Johnson doses that were already administered or distributed have continued to appear in the federal vaccination data during the halt in use.

When Might a Majority of People Be Vaccinated?

Some experts have estimated that 70 to 90 percent of the total population — adults and children — 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. And children, who aren’t yet eligible, may be key to reaching herd immunity, experts say.

The projection below only shows the share of the total population with at least one shot based on the current rate of newly vaccinated people, but it provides a rough indication of when the virus’s spread could begin to stall.

At the current pace of vaccination, everyone could get a shot this year. But no vaccine has been authorized for children under 16.

But the pace of vaccinations varies across the country. Several states in the South and West, for example, have vaccinated a smaller share of their population with a first or single dose than in other regions.

Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | Note: On Feb. 23, the C.D.C. began reporting the number of people receiving one or more doses based on where individuals reside, rather than the provider’s location. This resulted in a decrease for Washington, D.C.

There are many reasons eligible people may not be vaccinated, including, in some areas, lingering issues of short supply, limited access to vaccination sites and confusing procedures for booking appointments. Some people are hesitant or unwilling to get a shot.

The New York Times recently analyzed vaccine records and voter records in every county in the United States and found that both willingness to receive a coronavirus vaccine and actual vaccination rates were lower, on average, in counties where a majority of residents voted to re-elect former President Donald J. Trump in 2020.

Are The Most Vulnerable Counties Being Vaccinated?

Speed isn’t the only priority for the country’s vaccination campaign. The Biden administration has also committed to distributing shots equitably to the communities most affected by the pandemic.

Yet more than four months into the rollout, the most socially vulnerable counties in the U.S. have a lower vaccination rate on average than the nation’s least vulnerable. The majority of the most disadvantaged counties with the fewest fully vaccinated people are in the South, while the most vaccinated, least vulnerable counties are in the Midwest.

Counties are ranked according to the Social Vulnerability Index, a C.D.C. indicator used in public health crises that is based on socioeconomic status, housing, transportation, race, ethnicity and language. Each county’s vaccination rate is its share of all residents that have been fully vaccinated, a figure that does not reflect those who have only received one dose of a two-shot vaccine.

How Is Each State Doing?

Some jurisdictions have been more efficient than others at administering their doses from the federal government.

Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; U.S. Census Bureau | Note: Extra doses in Pfizer vials and data reporting inconsistencies may result in the percentage of doses used adding up to more than 100. Geographically isolated areas such as Alaska, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands can place orders for multiple weeks at once.

There are many reasons for variation among the states and territories, including demand for the vaccine, lags in data reporting and other logistical challenges.

Who Is Eligible for a Vaccine?

The United States has cleared an important milestone in its vaccine rollout: All people 16 and older are now eligible for the coronavirus vaccine in every state. Universal eligibility follows months where states relied on complicated phase-based plans that prioritized certain vulnerable individuals — like older Americans, critical workers and those with certain medical conditions. Often, county plans differed from state plans.

When all adults became eligible for the vaccine in each state

Sources: State and county health departments.

Health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities have been eligible for vaccination in every state for months, and people 65 and older have been eligible for months in most states.

For now, the vaccines are not approved for children 15 and younger, but Pfizer recently requested that the Food and Drug Administration expand the emergency use authorization for its vaccine to permit use in children 12 and older. If that happens, young adolescents could potentially start getting vaccinated before school starts in the fall of 2021.

The next phase of the rollout will come with new challenges. Some experts believe that making more people eligible will ultimately get more people across the country vaccinated more quickly. But others have said they are worried that some people may have trouble competing for a shot as the eligibility flood gates open.

About the Data

Data on vaccines delivered and administered comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which updates data daily and reports detailed footnotes here.

The C.D.C. began reporting county-level vaccinations on March 26. This data is not available for all states, and is incomplete in others, artificially lowering the published vaccination rates for some counties.

Figures include vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. People receiving the Johnson & Johnson single-shot vaccine are counted as those with “at least one dose” and those “fully vaccinated.”

The federal data may differ from that reported by states and territories, which may post on different schedules. Providers have 72 hours to report doses administered and it can take additional time for jurisdictions and the C.D.C. to receive this information.

The C.D.C. typically reports data as of 6 a.m. each day. On March 13, the C.D.C. reported about 4.6 million new doses administered, including about 1.6 million doses that were reported after the 6 a.m. cutoff, resulting in a visible spike.

The C.D.C. notes that total doses administered are based on the location where the vaccine was given, and that in limited cases, people might get a vaccine outside of their place of residency. As of Feb. 23, the C.D.C. reports the number of people receiving one or more doses based on where individuals reside.

On Feb. 19, the C.D.C. began including shots given by the federal agencies in each state’s count. Doses delivered to federal agencies were added to state totals on Feb. 20. Some states, including Alaska, North Dakota and Utah, are supposed to receive supplements for tribal governments that have elected to receive their vaccines through the state, rather than through the federal Indian Health Service.

In addition to delivering vaccines to states, territories and some federal agencies, the C.D.C. also distributes doses to three small countries that have special agreements with the U.S. government: Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands.

The C.D.C. also reports state-level data on the number of shots administered to people in nursing homes and long-term-care centers.
