May 11th COVID-19 Vaccinations, New Cases, Hospitalizations

by Calculated Risk on 5/11/2021 03:58:00 PM

President Biden has set two vaccinations goals to achieve by July 4th:
1) 70% of the population over 18 has had at least one dose of vaccine, and
2) 160 million Americans fully vaccinated.

According to the CDC, on Vaccinations. Total administered: 263,132,561, as of yesterday: 261,599,381. Day: 1.53 million.  (U.S. Capacity is around 4 million per day)

 
1) 58.5% of the population over 18 has had at least one dose.
2) 115.4 million Americans are fully vaccinated.

Note: I'll stop posting this daily once all three of these criteria are met:
1) 70% of the population over 18 has had at least one dose of vaccine, and
2) new cases are under 5,000 per day, and
3) hospitalizations are below 3,000.
