According to Megan from CDC, the current numbers are 109.2 million people with a first booster and 24.2 million people with a second booster. I'm deducing that the word &quot;million&quot; is extraneous and the 131 myocarditis cases include cases from the second booster shots.</p> <p>I was impressed with how friendly and patient Megan was and that she took the trouble to find the current numbers and the PDF you linked to and make sense of this conundrum. Based on my experience with the CDC, I strongly encourage you to call them up next time the numbers don't line up. Because numbers do matter, it's a great service to the public if people like you who notice the issues publish the correct information!</p>
