As of Monday morning, nearly nine million Americans had received their first shot, or 2.7% of the U.S. population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts say as much as 85% of the population will have to be inoculated to achieve "herd immunity" and vanquish the outbreak.

The city of Houston opened an online portal on Monday allowing qualified residents to register for COVID-19 vaccination. Within hours, every available appointment was filled for the month of January.
