200 million Covid-19 shots have been administered since President Biden took office. But last week, daily vaccinations declined across the U.S. for the first time since February, reflecting that demand is softening.

In Louisiana, for example, one million doses distributed by the federal government are sitting unused on shelves. State officials are warning that dropping demand signals the importance of outreach to communities that are wary of the vaccine or lack easy access to vaccination.

Although only 23 percent of people in Texas have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, vaccinations decreased sharply last week. Black and Hispanic individuals continue to be vaccinated at lower rates than white residents of Texas.

In data recently collected by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 20 percent of Americans said they will definitely not get the vaccine or will only if it’s required. More than 40 percent of Republicans remain opposed to getting their shot.
