The number of coronavirus vaccinations administered in Massachusetts rose by 97,690 to 3,832,132 , state officials reported Saturday.
The number of new vaccinations was larger than on Friday, when 95,852 were reported.
The total number of shots administered amounted to 84.9 percent of the 4,512,01 doses shipped to providers in the state so far, the Department of Public Health said.
The total shots administered included 2,382,102 first shots and 1,353,319 second shots. Those who have gotten their second shot of the currently approved two-dose vaccines are considered fully vaccinated.
The state reported a total of 96,711 people who have received Johnson & Johnson’s one-shot vaccine.

The number of people fully vaccinated — with either two shots of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines or one shot of the Johnson & Johnson — rose to 1,450,030.
Massachusetts is in the midst of a high-stakes campaign to vaccinate 4.1 million adults in an effort to bring an end to a pandemic that has sickened hundreds of thousands and caused more than 16,000 deaths in the state.
The department, in a separate report, reported 2,263 new confirmed coronavirus cases Saturday, bringing the state’s total to 605,055. The department also reported 30new confirmed coronavirus deaths, bringing the state’s total to 16,938.
DPH said 34,157 people were estimated to have active cases of the potentially deadly virus, and 707 confirmed coronavirus patients were in the hospital.
The DPH also reported that 116,516 more tests had been conducted for coronavirus. The total number of tests administered climbed to 19,138,478 million. New antigen tests had been completed for 2,840 people, bringing that total to 661,165.
The DPH reported that the seven-day average rate of positive tests, which is calculated from the total number of tests administered, was at 2.4 percent.
The department said the rate would be 4.0 percent if the effect of college testing programs — in which asymptomatic people can be tested repeatedly in an effort to rapidly identify new cases — is factored out.
