The CDC only provides vaccination data 5 days a week, so Monday reported figure is actually for 3 days worth.  So it can be "lumpy" if one is watching the reported daily figures.  Still, the pace of vaccinations in the US continues to surge. 

- 8.5 million Americans have received a vaccination
- a week ago, 4.3 million, so 2X in 1 week
- still, you can see the pace is really ramping up sharply.
- we expect US to reach 1 million per day this week

- at 5X, the US is vaccinating faster than "estimated infections"
