About COVID-19 Vaccine Delivered and Administration Data

Summary of Vaccination Data

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using both new and existing information technology (IT) systems to rapidly collect reliable data about how many doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been delivered (distribution) and how many people have been vaccinated with those doses (administration).

CDC; other federal agencies; vaccination providers; state, local, and territorial public health departments; and tribal health facilities across the country use vaccine distribution and administration data to inform decisions about COVID-19 vaccination. The COVID-19 Vaccination IT Overview provides an overarching view of the vaccine IT data systems and how they integrate to track COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration.

CDC publicly reports the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses delivered and administered, as well as vaccine trends and demographic data, through the COVID Data Tracker.

Reporting COVID-19 Vaccination Data to CDC

Vaccine delivery (distribution)

Jurisdictions (states, territories, tribes, and local entities), federal agencies, and pharmacy partners are responsible for determining the quantity and type of vaccines that will be shipped to provider locations or vaccination provider sites. Distribution is the process of shipping vaccines to provider locations, as directed by jurisdictions, federal agencies, and pharmacy partners who are enrolled in the COVID-19 Vaccination Program. Vaccine delivery is the last part of the distribution process. Deliveries represent the vaccine doses that have arrived at their destination.

How are vaccine delivery (distribution) data reported to CDC?

Jurisdictions (states, territories, tribes, and local entities), federal agencies, and pharmacy partners use the Vaccine Tracking System (VTrckS) to order vaccines from the federal government. VTrckS records information such as vaccine, provider data, orders, shipments, and inventory. With one exception, distribution and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines and other routine vaccines are accomplished through a federal delivery system; Pfizer distributes and delivers doses of its COVID-19 vaccine through its own delivery system.
