[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shirley there is other data than just the CDC phone survey? I mean most people are getting shots at Walgreens, CVS, etc. I’m sure they have some data.[/quote]
When the latest shot first came out, private health groups provided estimates of vaccine uptake, including breakdowns between Pfizer & Moderna. Their totals did not include vaccines administered at community vaccination sites and doctors' offices, so their figures likely underestimated uptake. Since the CDC started emphasizing NIS survey data, the press now just references survey data. That is unfortunate, as a truer picture of uptake could have been obtained by looking at both the likely underestimated private tallies of actual vaccination data and the overestimated NIS phone survey data.
