Over 6,000 residents on Saipan, Rota, and Tinian have been inoculated with either the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine or the Moderna Inc. vaccine as of Jan. 28, according to the Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. dashboard.
CHCC said a total of 6,192 residents have already completed their first dose, while 3,057 have completed their second dose. This means that 9,325 first and second doses for the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have been administered.
On Saipan, 5,877 have gotten their first dose, and 3,057 have already gotten their second dose. On Tinian 141 have gotten their first dose, and on Rota, 174 people have gotten their first dose. Because you have to take the Pfizer vaccine 21 days after the first dose, and 28 days for Moderna, the Tinian and Rota populations are expected to receive their second doses in mid-February.
