In order to hit the 70% target for all U.S. adults getting their 1st shot by the 4th of July, we'll need to average 591,000 per day for the next 31 days.
Remember, that's 591K *1st* doses, not 2nd, though the 2nd shots are important as well.
A week ago I said it'd be tight but doable.
After the huge holiday weekend drop-off, though, it's gonna be REALLY tough.

HOWEVER, if we come up slightly short of 70% of adults by 7/04 that doesn't mean the world ends or that the vaccination project pulls up stakes. It's just a target. An ambitious one, but still just a target.
Besides, as @PeterHotez noted yesterday, we likely actually need more like 75-80% of EVERYONE (not just adults) to be vaccinated in order to actually hit herd immunity anyway.
So, yeah: #GetVaxxed.
