What is the status of vaccine distribution??

By the end of May 2021, 300 million vaccines will be available to you. This is enough to vaccinate every adult in the United States. The priority is still to vaccinate medical workers, essential workers, and now school teachers. According to Dr. Fauci, 70 to 85% of the U.S. population will need to be vaccinated for normalcy to return, or herd immunity to come into effect.

If you are looking to keep up with the latest updates on the vaccine numbers, the NY Times offers state-by-state updates.

Where can I get vaccinated?

Most vaccination centers are located in hospitals and health-care institutions. As access to vaccines increases, larger locations such as your local stadiums, race tracks, theme parks and more are housing vaccine distribution centers. The federal government is administering vaccines. Your state's distribution depends on the urgency for vaccines in your state and the supplied data reports.

Some additional resources about receiving the vaccine and its distribution can be found from the CDC and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
