COVID vaccinations in US drop 42% over last three weeks
The number of COVID-19 vaccinations in the U.S. has declined over the last three weeks despite the surging number of cases due to the omicron variant.
In the past, surges have driven Americans to get vaccinated. However, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the average number of total doses administered has fallen 42% since Dec. 14.
An average of 304,000 Americans are currently receiving their first dose every day and 165,000 are reaching "full vaccination" status.

This is a drop from three weeks prior, when 455,000 were getting their first dose every day and 402,000 were reaching "full vaccination" status.
Additionally, the average number of people receiving booster shots every day has declined to 623,000 from more than one million.
A total of 67.4 million eligible Americans -- aged five and older -- remain completely unvaccinated.
