The agency said 223,629,671 people had received at least one dose
while 193,832,584 people are fully vaccinated as of 6:00 a.m. ET on

 About 24 million people
received a booster dose of either Pfizer or
Moderna's vaccine since August 13, when the U.S.
authorized a third dose of the vaccines for
people with compromised immune systems who are
likely to have weaker protection from the
two-dose regimens.
