More than 359 million vaccine doses have been distributed nationwide, and more than 287.7 million administered CDC data shows.

According to the CDC, more than 131 million people over 12 have been fully vaccinated.

The CDC reported Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin, have fully vaccinated at least half of their adult residents.
