The United States has administered 373,516,809 doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country as of Friday (Sep 3) morning and distributed 447,619,715 doses, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

Those figures are up from the 372,116,617 vaccine doses the CDC said had gone into arms by Sept. 2 out of 445,672,595 doses delivered.

The agency said 206,461,869 people had received at least one dose while 175,538,025 people were fully vaccinated as of 6:00am ET on Friday.

The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech, as well as Johnson & Johnson's one-shot vaccine.

About 1.25 million people have received an additional dose of either Pfizer or Moderna's vaccine since Aug 13, when the US authorised a third dose of the vaccines for people with compromised immune systems who are likely to have weaker protection from the two-dose regimens//CNA
