There's a renewed push in the US to get COVID-19 vaccine booster shots in as many vaccinated people as possible (CNBC). The outcome will be determined using data as reported by the CDC (https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations, click the "Booster Doses***" title on the table). For historical data, visit https://data.cdc.gov/Vaccinations/COVID-19-Vaccinations-in-the-United-States-Jurisdi/unsk-b7fc, click "Export," and select your file preference. See "US" for "Location," and booster doses are labeled "Additional_Doses" in the file. As of the launch of this question, the number of fully vaccinated people with a booster dose for COVID-19 as of 1 December 2021 was 41,933,410.
