The Program continues steadily, firing on all cylinders.
It seems that those 75 or older have slowed getting first shots, once we got through about 2/3rds of that population (14 out of 22 million).
Not only has the 65-74 year old age group started getting a larger share of the new first shots, but those 50-64 seem to be getting in line in greater numbers also, over the last week or so.
66.3% of those ≥ 65 Years of Age have now received a first shot.
29.2% of Adults (≥ 18 Years of Age).

Biden to send COVID shots to Mexico, Canada in first exports
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The U.S. is planning to send a combined 4 million doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Mexico and Canada in its first export of shots.
A White House official confirmed Thursday that the Biden administration is planning to send 2.5 million doses to Mexico and 1.5 million to Canada as a “loan.” The details are still being worked out.
The Astra Zeneca vaccine has not been authorized for use in the U.S. but has been by the World Health Organization. Tens of millions of doses have been stockpiled in the U.S. should it receive emergency use authorization, sparking an international outcry that lifesaving doses could not be used overseas.
The White House has said President Joe Biden’s priority is the vaccination of all Americans, but the official said Biden was authorizing the loan because the “virus knows no borders.”
