Less than a month after the first COVID-19 vaccine was approved for use in the US, the CDC reports that we gave 17 million doses and vaccinated 4.8 million people. (Full protection requires two doses, so most people have only just received their first dose.) If you want to follow the introduction of the vaccine here and abroad, here are the websites that can help you do that.
CDC vaccine tracker
The CDC’s page is here, and it shows the total doses that have been divided and administered, next to a map showing how many people per state received a dose of the vaccine, as shown in the image above.
You can look at the state chart in the number of people vaccinated per 100,000 residents, or just an unedited number of people vaccinated so far. Censuses are also available for U.S. territories, plus four agencies: the Bureau of Prisons, the Department of Defense, Indian Health Services, and the Veterans Health Administration.
The page also lists some vaccines that have been distributed and administered tolong-term care facilities (such as nursing homes). So far, 3.2 million doses have been sent for use in these facilities, and just under half a million have been given to residents and staff.

Global data
Our World in Data has a page with a variety of charts on vaccine administration in all countries of the world. You can view an animated map showing the doses per 100,000 people tapping over time, an animated bar chart of the same, and other maps showing the total doses delivered.
There are also charts and graphs showing the doses administered per day, both in total and in proportion to the population. Another map color codes countries according to their policies: whether to vaccinate one or more high-risk groups, or whether vaccine availability should be universal. (The US is currently listed as vaccinating two of the vulnerable groups, although not all states follow CDC policies.)
