When Might A Majority Of People In Your State Be Fully Vaccinated? (scroll down for 3rd Chart)

[Stallion]

for the United States generally the projected date for 70% fully vaccinated is August 6, 2021 and 85% by September 11, but there is wide disparity particularly in Republican dominated states which are looking well into 2022 to reach these levels. And I guess you could break this down further into discrete communities within each state. Anyway its interesting and I haven't seen it mentioned here

1. Never, I'm in Florida. nt

[Native]

8. Lol, me too. I can't tell you how many people I know who are refusing to get it.

[TexasBushwhacker]

11. Same in Texas n/t

[jovibennett]

24. more than half of the people I work with won't get it

so we will be wearing masks for a LOONNGG time since we are in the veterinary filed and work to close to one another. I just received my second pfizer vaccine yesterday!!

[Hortensis]

13. :) Oh, come on. Even here a majority will. Don't forget,

nearly half of FL voters voted Democrat. They're not spreading a disease holocaust out of spite to "own the Dems."

Then there are the 20% of retirees, a solid majority of whom are now vaccinated while others have been waiting anxiously for the various venues to get their bureaucratic asses in gear. Retirees, after all, were the first (able) to self isolate and the restaurants they patronized the first to be in trouble.

That leaves conservative non-retirees, and they're not all crazy or stupid. Most of those we know are either already vaccinated or fully intend to be. Well, most of those we know are actually in Georgia, but that's another knuckledragging state, right now behind even FL.

16. My aunt on the Gulf Coast would probably refuse the shot if she had the choice--

But her retirement community said everyone had to get vaxxed and sent a nurse to each household. She could have made a stink, but Auntie hates to make scenes, so she just complied. Peer pressure! LOL.

Anyway, almost everyone in her community (which was very Trumpy) got the shot because it was just easier to do that than to resist. I think there'll be a lot of that sort of grudging compliance-- mothers telling their daughters, "Well, if you insist, and if you drive me down, I'll do it."

[CaptainTruth]

22. As they die off, eventually a majority will be vaccinated.

[edhopper]

2. That's great

here in NY, end of June. Georgia, where the priority is stopping black people from voting, a year from now.
The Red States are mostly doing a crap job.

[HUAJIAO]

3. Where do you see end of June on one of those charts?

I cannot find it.. Looks to me like we are just below average with% with at least 1 dose and % fully vaccinated...

Hope I am wrong..

Oh, just found it/...

[Stallion]

4. New York is Projected as the First State to Reach These Levels

June 5, 2021 (70%)
June 24, 2021 (85%)

Sorry Georgia you've got a problem

[jimfields33]

25. South Dakota is doing incredibly well

I thought they’d be one of the worst. They are ranked 2nd after New Mexico.

[TwilightZone]

31. Older population

And lots of people in assisted living, nursing homes, etc. I suspect that helps the average.

Also, Sioux Falls was hit pretty hard and I think there's a lot less resistance there as a result. SF has more than 1/4 of the state's total population so if their vaccination rate is high, it also influences the average pretty significantly.

[Stallion]

35. I Wouldn't be Surprised if States With Large Indian Populations Have been Prioritized

note New Mexico, Oklahoma and South Dakota with high vacination rates

[doc03]

5. Looks like Ohio passes 50% on June 24th. nt

[Cicada]

6. Why aren't seniors being rapidly vaccinated?

29% of those over 65 haven’t gotten vaccinated. And the daily change is extremely slow. What is the fk**ng problem? 80% of covid deaths are among those over 65. Willie Sutton robbed banks because that was where the money was. Why can’t we get this group of 15 million people vaccinated faster?

[Stallion]

15. CDC Has Done a Great Job Prioritizing Seniors

75.1% have received at least one dose
54.8% have been fully vaccinated

You got to remember that its about a 1 1/2 month process for Phizer and others and some simply don't want to be vaccinated

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations

[Johonny]

29. Yeah, I assume the 75.1 % number

matches up well with polls that show 25% uninterested in the vaccination. I think they've done a good job hitting every senior that was going to be easy to persuade to get it.

[Stallion]

30. 60 Minutes Had a Good Story About Pockets of Ignored Groups in Florida

example Desantis gave an exclusive contract (originally) to Publix but they focused on an area where there was no Publix within 30 miles, they had no computers or smart phones to get on waiting list. Going to have to reach out to these groups directly

[Cicada]

37. Let's pay anyone over 75 $1000 to get vaccinated, saves us money

Take out ads, call this number to get $1000 cash today to be vaccinated. That is way way cheaper than what our increased Medicare costs are from delayed vaccinations.

[triron]

7. NM is no. 1 in the US in at least 1 dose. How can NY be projected first??

[edhopper]

9. Could be vaccination rate

that has ramped up in NY. It's only a few weeks difference between the two. And it is an estimate.

[triron]

32. NM has ramped up as well. We are already at 40+% for at least 1 dose. NY has to catch up awfully

fast. I think our governor (Lujan-Grisham) has done a pretty good job.

[edhopper]

33. I am sure

anyway the chart is an estimate, so who knows what data skewed it. NM could beat NY.

[Hortensis]

10. I notice that some states with really low FULLY vaccinated %s

are catching up somewhat with FIRST-dose %s as high as some states doing better. So looks like the rates are revving up a bit even in states handicapped with criminally obstructive red governments.

The emphasis on vaccinations at thousands of local pharmacies, just like getting flu shots, going around state health departments, is really going to help. People have already proven they like that best anyway.

[rickyhall]

12. Arkansas - When Hell freezes over - again.

[former9thward]

14. I would say it is a mix

Of the 10 best vaccinated states, 5 are Republican dominated and 5 Democratic.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

17. Hooray for New Mexico!

I suspect we will be the first state to be fully vaccinated. Any anti-vaccers are a distinct minority here. It's also a state that, despite the expected grumbling from Republicans, has been good about shutting down and mask wearing. I never see unmasked people in stores.

[Quixote1818]

27. Is there something I am missing, because this site says over 50% of NM residents have had at least

one dose:

New Mexico
Doses distributed to state: 1,486,525
Doses administered: 1,281,047
Percentage of distributed vaccines that have been administered: 86.18


New Mexico's population is just over 2 million. I don't get where they are saying only 40% of the population has received 1 dose.

https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/public-health/states-ranked-by-percentage-of-covid-19-vaccines-administered.html

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

36. It's confusing, I know.

This state is doing an amazing job of getting the vaccine out there. Not sure about the percentage you are giving, but I do know that we are well ahead of everyone else.

Not to mention, people here (at least in northern NM where I am) are being extremely good about masks.

I am so very glad I moved here in 2008.

[Deminpenn]

18. Data regarding vaccines administered seems to

be inconsistent. Here in Pennsylvania, there are reports that 30% have gotten at least 1 dose of vaccine, but then you see numbers like 5.4M plus 1M total infections and it's getting close to 50% with some level of protection.

[Xolodno]

19. I'm in California...

...had trouble finding an appointment for my area, soon as they became available, people booked them ASAP. Then I looked at a suburban area about 40 minutes away....plenty appointments available. So booked it and got my first dose of the Moderna, I get the second later.

The suburban area is full of Republicans...LOL!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. The graphs don't consider an estimate of anti-vaxxers.

It looks like MI will hit 100% in October '21. Nope, it will hit 80% in August/September, then stall.

Getting a shot is even more defeatist, sheepish, herd-like than wearing a mask. We strong individualists, all wearing matching plaid flannel shirts, will refuse this imposition on our rights.

I'm just glad spouse and I got ours before it was opened up to everyone over age 16. We got our second Moderna Apr 1, which, by coincidence, was the date of the Tiger home opening game.

[speak easy]

21. South Dakota is 37% for one jab or more.

[IronLionZion]

23. shorter waits for the people who want it

Several friends have found vaccine appointments in the reddest counties nearby now that DC, MD, and VA are open to each other's residents.

[mnhtnbb]

26. 70% in NC by Aug 27 according to the chart

So that's about average with a Dem governor but a lot of Trumpers in the state.

[DVRacer]

28. Oklahoma is ahead of the national average

Nearly 1/3 have had at least one dose! Color me shocked and our rate of infection is way down.

[GoCubsGo]

34. It's shocking to see the state that headquarters the CDC is at the bottom of the list.

Until you realize who runs that state. Then, it's not at all surprising.
