⚠️Data note: We made a chance to our NYC methodology that brings it in line with the rest of the U.S. The % of people vaccinated now reflects residents, not place of vaccination. The resulted in a change to our NYC %s.
💉J&J doses continue to creep upwards.
J&J delivered: 3,704,500
J&J admin: 638,469
We are starting to see some major divergences in state pace and time to 75% coverage. (We'll be making some updates soon to account for the one-dose J&J shot, btw.)
👏NY (4 months)
🤷♂️CA (8 months)
🐢GA (10 months)
Last, there's some significant positive news out of Novavax, which could set up for another vaccine coming soon (Quick breakdown by the smart @matthewherper)
Our methodology blog post also has (from CDC) what the number today *would* have been with a normal pull time. You can find it here (it's still a lot):
⚠️This is a huge number that's 50% bigger than we've ever seen. it's possible there's some sort of data/methodological reason for this. We are investigating and will post a blog/more tweets if we find out something more.
In the meantime, <sportscenter voice> THAT'S A BIG ONE
There are some states here that are all having record days: Take a look at Cali, NY, Mississippi, North Carolina:
⭐️Our U.S. 7-day average is now 2.01M doses/day, the first time above 2M. This appears to be driven by a combo of winter-storm make-up doses + increasing supply.
📊1.91M doses today; 7-day 2.01M
🇺🇸US: 80.5M doses total
If there's a significant pull-back after the storm make-up bump, this could slip back down. But between J&J doses going into arms this week + rising shipments of about 15M doses/week, that seems unlikely/short-lived.
