| A year ago, I wrote a newsletter here saying the drug industry — the most disliked set of companies in America, at the time — had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn around its reputation. I've been covering pharma for a decade, and I never expected to see, in public, a normal person with a T-shirt advertising drug company names like they're from a rock concert the night before. But it's happening! As of this week in the U.S., vaccine manufacturers have delivered 243 million doses, according to the Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker. About 100 million people in the U.S. have received at least one dose.  Inventing a working vaccine was challenging enough, but making hundreds of millions of doses of it fast enough to blunt the impact of the pandemic was always going to be a hurdle just as difficult. A shot's no good if it's just sitting in a lab. As of this week, the Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker will be regularly updating how many doses pharma companies have delivered in the U.S., and following whether they've met the ambitious delivery targets they've set — enough doses to together cover 400 million people by the end of July. Our tracker shows that they're meeting those targets (despite a J&J manufacturing screw-up). Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson said they would deliver a total of 240 million doses by the end of March. And that's exactly what's happened. Our vaccine-delivery data are pulled from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which gives weekly updates on doses allocated to states, plus the White House's public comments on how many doses are being shipped through other channels. The data aren't perfect. While the CDC gives a breakdown of how many doses have come from each manufacturer, the White House doesn't. Those doses touted by the White House are an increasingly important part of the vaccine supply as well. They account for more than 30 million doses so far, and many are going to the tens of thousands of pharmacy locations where people are signing up to get shots. (We've asked the government to provide that data, and so far they haven't been able to. For now, those doses are marked as "unknown" in our tracker.) We'll update this part of the tracker every week, and adjust drugmakers' delivery targets as they sign new deals or update their schedules. In the meantime, we'll continue to update the number of people getting shots in the U.S. and around the world every day. —Drew Armstrong |
