The us had administered 228,661,408 doses of COVID-19 vaccines as of Sunday morning and distributed 290,692,005 doses, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

That is a rise from the 225,640,460 vaccine doses the CDC said had been administered by April 24 out of 290,685,655 doses delivered.

The agency said 139,978,480 people had received a minimum of one dose while 94,772,329 people had been fully vaccinated as of Sunday.

The CDC tally includes two-dose vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech , and Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine as of 6 a.m. ET Sunday.

Top U.S. health regulators said the country can immediately resume use of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine, ending a 10-day pause to research its link to extremely rare but potentially deadly blood clots.

A total of seven ,791,490 vaccine doses are administered in long-term care facilities, the agency said.
