J&J actually promised 100 million doses by the end of June, and have said they are still on track for that.
And according to Bloomberg, we have given 48 million of the 2-dose vaccines, and are doing 1.6 million a day.
If you assume that won’t grow, that’s 24 million equivalent people vaccinated, and 0.8 million a day.
It’s february 12th. 138 days until June 30th.
So:
24 million already vaccinated.
100 million J&J vaccinations
110 million additional 2-dose vaccinations.
234 million total vaccinations in the United States.
Meanwhile, there are only 209 million adults in the united states, and we won’t be vaccinating children, although we might start vaccinating 16-17 year-olds. Below that age, the vaccine is riskier than the disease.
So, if J&J is approved, we should be DONE WITH VACCINATING our entire population by near the end of June.
And yet they keep talking about vaccines pushing into next year.
They won’t be vaccinating many of the adults that I know.
