More than 60 million people in the U.S. have gotten at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine and 31.3 million are fully vaccinated, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported Monday.
The 92 million doses administered means 18.1 percent of the U.S. population has gotten at least one COVID-19 shot, and Andy Slavitt, a public health official who now works at the Biden White House, breaks that down by age group.

- 25.8 percent of New Mexico’s population has gotten at least one vaccine dose
- 15.8 percent of Alaska’s population is fully vaccinated
- 13.3 percent of Georgia’s population has gotten at least one vaccine dose
