Well no not yet. Representative surveys showed that our official numbers are undertracked by a few millions because most of the J&J shots were only registered as a second shot but not as the first shot. Another possible reason was that a lot of company physicians have not yet reported the shots to local health authorities.
The survey showed that the numbers for getting both shots were correct across the board but that the number for one shot was off by up to 20% (depending on the time the survey was taken) in the age group of 18-59.
For example in one survey 75% of people in the age group of 18-59 claimed they got the first shot. That was in mid July. Official numbers only showed 59% for that group at the time. 2 months later official numbers for that age group are only at 69%. The discrepancy is still there.
Hard to say what the real numbers are. The maximum shouldn't be higher than 6 percentage points compared to official numbers (73.6% vs. 67.6%). That's total numbers, not exclusively that specific age group. Even with more moderate estimates, 70% and more is likely.
