Over 10 Million COVID-19 Vaccinations Administered

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported on January 13, 2021, there have been 10,278,462 first-doses COVID-19 vaccines administered in the USA. And, 1,084,177 of those vaccinations have occurred in Long-Term Care Facilities.

In the USA, there are two experimental COVID-19 vaccines authorized for emergency use. Worldwide, various countries have authorized six other COVID-19 vaccines for use. None of these vaccines have been officially approved.

Furthermore, researchers do not know whether COVID-19 vaccinated people can spread the SARS-CoV-2 betacoronavirus. Although vaccines have been proven to protect recipients from getting ill, research has yet to determine whether they prevent the new virus, or the recent variants, from replicating altogether.
