"Vaccine Hesitancy" -- Today's Data Lowest Friday Count In Ten Weeks -- May 14, 2021

CDC data here

Today's "Friday vaccine" report: 1.842 million doses administered.

We have to go all the way back to February 19, 2021, to see such a "low" count, over ten weeks ago.

Note that the capacity for vaccine administration trends toward 4.0 million doses on a "Friday" but today's number, 1.842 million is 53% of the maximum seen on April 16. 

It was April 13 that the government took th JNJ vaccine off the market for safety issues and then four days later deemed it safe enough to go back on the market but waited until April 23, 2021, at close of business on a Friday to make the announcement that the JNJ vaccine was safe "enough"to be brought back to the market. 

One would think that human nature being what it is, now that the CDC has given the "all clear" sign, folks may not seen the need for vaccination, misinterpreting the CDC decision. However, as colleges (and maybe public schools) require vaccinations before students return to school, the numbers will increase. It will be fascinating to watch. If it's the latter, we might not see the "school-mandate effect" until later this summer.
