Report: CDC overcounts millions of first-dose COVID vaccinations in US
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US has overcounted the number of Americans who are at least partly vaccinated against the coronavirus, Bloomberg reports.
This means millions who were thought to be protected are not, as the pandemic surges in the country.
The agency reduced the share of people 65 and older with at least one shot from 99.9 percent, to 95%, without changing its raw shot totals, the report says.
Bloomberg reports that state and local officials believe the government has regularly and incorrectly counted booster shots and second doses as first doses.
