Associated Press did an analysis of the data. The CDC won't give numbers because the figures we have are patchy, good for some states and poor or non existent from others, so they can't calculate population wide figures. The AP just looked at the most comprehensive figures we have for those areas that do have strong reporting.

This is also consistent with figures from the UK that keeps much more comprehensive and consistent records, because it has a unified national health infrastructure, as well as much higher vaccination rates.
