- Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told he was not surprised some people are missing the second dose.
- Obviously whenever you have a two-dose vaccine, you’re going to see people who for one reason or other just don’t show up for the second vaccine.
- Groups initially prioritized for vaccination, such as health care workers, were more likely to get vaccinated at their work site.
A recent CNN news report by Christina Maxouris says that some people are missing the second dose.
People miss second dose of Covid 19 vaccine
The reasons behind the delayed or missed second doses, however, require further analysis.
The spokesperson said, and officials should work to understand whether this is due to access or vaccine hesitancy.
Covid-19 vaccinations declined last week
About 229 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States, according to CDC data published Sunday — about 3 million more administered doses reported since Saturday.
That puts the seven-day average of administered doses at about 2.8 million doses per day, a slight drop from earlier in the month, when the average pace of new doses administered peaked at 3.4 million shots per day on April 13.
Recent pause on the Johnson & Johnson Covid 19 vaccine
Saturday, the CDC’s Dr. Amanda Cohn said the recent pause on the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine had contributed to the decline.
“Last week was the first week that we saw a decline in vaccination, in terms of the total number of people who got vaccinated over the course of the week, and there is clearly the contributory factor of the pause in the J&J vaccine,” Cohn said.
The CDC and the US Food and Drug Administration paused use of the vaccine following reports of a rare blood clotting syndrome among six women who were recently vaccinated.
