(2) any and all data on the total number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered from 12/11/2020 to 01/26/2021.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

The records you've requested do not exist in the format in which they've
been requested. However, we can provide a report that we provide to the CDC
to report vaccine waste. It does not include all the data variables
requested, but it will demonstrate waste information as required by the
CDC. Column M reports the number of doses.

In response to your request for vaccine allocation, please see our website:

In the future, please submit records requests to this email address:
