CDC vaccination data is back, now that it can show more than a million doses per day administered! Plus new features! We can now call out the national tally for one-dose versus two-doses, and the battle for market-share between Pfizer and Moderna.

Argh. With no notice, the CDC has suddenly stopped providing state-level vaccination statistics. Something to hide? Or nothing to brag about?

Almost a million US inoculations yesterday. Remember we didn't even get up to a million tests a day until four months into the crisis. We'll get this done.

Good "Recommended Reading" today. Frustration mounts over the slow US rollout of vaccines (lots of distribution, not so many inoculations). Meanwhile, Israel seems to have found the formula for success.

Today we introduce on page 3 a new comprehensive tracker of US vaccinations, showing for each state the distribution of vaccines as percentage of population, and actual inoculations as a percentage of population. As an "efficiency ratio," we compare distribution to actual inoculation. As a rule, low-population states are leading the pack so far.

Today we expand our coverage of US vaccinations. We're now showing the best and worst ten US states by administration of first dose, as a share of population. We'll display more data as it becomes reliably available.

Funny how Covid-19 hasn't been in the news the last couple of days... Just saying...

770,000 US vaccinations yesterday, closing in on the million-per-day mark we really need. Also, for the first time, more doses were administered than distributed, which means those mysterious and frustrating inventories are starting to get cleared.

The US has distributed 21 million doses of vaccine, but there have been only 6 million inoculations. Distribution grows at 4 million/day, inoculations by only 600,000. Yet there are waiting lists of patients eager for the shot. Is there any part of this that makes sense?

We're probably mostly out of the holiday-induced data distortions. Global cases hit a new high today. But the case-fatality rate doesn't budge -- still at the lows.
