1) Added CDC data 2) Used state counts when ahead of CDC 3) Made some BIG updates to the map + table -- you can see doses been shipped to states + what % of doses have been used
(some people are having trouble w/ the CDC site -- i had to browse incognito or clear cache/cookies)
We'll continue to gather data from states, which sometimes report faster than CDC and have additonal, more granular data we hope to roll out soon. When state totals are higher than CDC, we use those.
We've retired (for now) doses allocated, which is data from HHS. It's interesting to see, but less reflective of what's happening on the ground and can be misleading. Doses shipped is better (if not perfect).
Doses shipped does not mean doses received -- some states report different tallies of doses distributed/received than CDC does. That can be for lots of different reasons: lag, shipping problems, etc.
We are also making it easier to see how states are doing moving through their allocations -- and are always searching for good apples-to-apples comparisons across states. You can now see (and toggle) how states are doing using % of doses shipped:
You can also sort out table to see how states are doing on the same metric:
It's late, I'm tired, @tsrandall@andretartar@cedricsam are the best, thanks for putting up the data @CDCgov, and we have MORE COOL STUFF TO COME I PROMISE. 🌃
One thing we’ve gotten some questions on: the big change in US totals is a result of the CDC data. They had more complete data on slow-to-update states than we did. So a big jump there.
Things *should* be a little less jumpy because of data sources going forward. But we’ll@continue to watch state sites.

🇺🇸Some good-ish U.S. news -- pace picking up slightly 2.66M vacc shots done (+300k vs y'day, vs 200k/day average), likely getting out of some holiday slump/lag.
The pace of vaccinations in the U.S. is going at about 200k/day, on average. This is...not as fast as expected. The U.S. will fall very, very far short of its 20M doses by end of 2020 goal, by our analysis:
Many states have administered only a fraction of the doses allocated to them in the early weeks. Some as little as 10%, according to our analysis published this evening. @business
So far, the U.S. has administered just over 2 million shots. There is -- certainly -- data lag. But not 18 million doses of data lag, or likely anything even close to that.
This is the inside story of how a group of journalists, optimists, academics and hundreds of volunteers built @COVID19Tracking project to tell the U.S. how the pandemic is evolving.
The folks at @COVID19Tracking, including @alexismadrigal@kissane and many others, invited me in to look under the hood, hang out in their Slack, do some data entry, and generally interview anyone I wanted. It was incredibly trusting, and I can't thank everyone there enough.
I'll share here some observations that are in the piece:
Lysol's parent, @discoverRB, is on track to make 35 million cans a month in the North American market. Their usual max -- running 7 day a week, 24 hours a day, is 10 million.
