As of Wednesday, a total of 868,819 vaccine doses have been administered in South Carolina. Of those, 619,884 were first doses, while 248,924 have gotten both doses. Two doses are required to be considered full vaccinated.
However, earlier in the day, an FDA report said the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which requires only one dose, is safe. That vaccine must still go before an FDA advisory board this Friday, and then finally to the FDA itself for emergency use authorization.
