 Those figures are up from the 386,237,881 vaccine doses the CDC said
had gone into arms by Sept. 20.
The agency said 212,255,202 people had received at least one dose
while 182,012,343 people were fully vaccinated as of 6:00 a.m. ET on
Tuesday.
The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech,
as well as Johnson & Johnson's one-shot vaccine.

 About 2.24 million people have
received an additional dose of either Pfizer or
Moderna's vaccine since Aug. 13, when the United
States 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.
