"The United States rollout of COVID-19 vaccines has been running far behind schedule, as only 4.5 million people have received an initial dose—15 million fewer inoculations than the federal government had promised by the end of 2020. At the current rate, the U.S. would need almost a decade to meet its goal of inoculating 80 percent of the population against the coronavirus."

"An average of 912,497 shots were recorded each day for the last week"
"2.30 million people have completed the two-dose vaccination regimen."
That's minuscule...
