U.S. Administers 428 Million Doses of COVID-19 Vaccines – CDC<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>More<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (NNN-AGENCIES) — The United States has administered 428,006,540 doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country as of Friday\u00a0morning and distributed 531,287,645 doses, the US\u00a0Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those figures are up from the 426,728,092 vaccine doses the CDC said had gone into arms by Nov\u00a04, out of 528,775,895 doses delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency said 222,902,939 people had received at least one dose, while 193,425,862 people were fully vaccinated as of 6:00am ET on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech, as well as Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 22.3 million people have received a booster dose of either Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Booster doses from Moderna and Johnson & Johnson were authorised by the US\u00a0health regulator on Oct 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the US\u00a0Food and Drug Administration said it had authorised the use of two more batches of Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose COVID-19 vaccine manufactured at the problem-plagued Baltimore factory of Emergent BioSolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FDA has now authorised 11 batches of the vaccine manufactured at the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April, US authorities halted production after ingredients from AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine, also being produced at the plant at the time, contaminated a batch of J&J’s vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s authorisation was based on a thorough review of facility records and quality testing by the manufacturer, and considering the current COVID-19 public health emergency, the health agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An estimated 30 million to 50 million doses of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine made early this year have been sitting idle in the Baltimore plant for weeks awaiting a green light from US\u00a0regulators to ship, two sources familiar with the matter said late last month. — NNN-AGENCIES<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
