had gone into arms by Oct. 16.
The agency said 218,805,579 people had received at least one dose
while 189,141,481 people were fully vaccinated as of 6 a.m. ET
Sunday.
The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech,
and Johnson & Johnson's one-shot vaccine.

 Over 10.5 million people have
received a booster dose of either the Pfizer or
Moderna vaccine since Aug. 13, when the U.S.
authorized a third dose of the vaccines for
those with compromised immune systems. The
authorization for booster shots has since been
broadened to a wider population.
