Virginia is 14th!

[Sanity Claws]

1. Mississippi and Alabama are dead last

Don't they usually rank last in educational attainment too?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

7. Obesity, education, etc.

Seems to happen a lot.

[jimfields33]

8. That is true but 63 percent is way higher then I thought for the last state ranked

It show me that all 50 states will be over 80 percent in 3 months if not more. I think this has been pretty successful. Congratulations President Biden.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. It's a percentage of the doses used so far...

... in each state, not the percentage of vaccinated people.

There's often a correlation, though.

Edit: "Percentage of distributed vaccines that have been administered" is the phrase used.

[jimfields33]

11. Ah. Thank you.

I still think president Biden is doing great. We’re a huge country and working to get everyone vaccinated is a huge undertaking.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. You're welcome, and I agree!

I'm so pleased with Joe!!

[ratchiweenie]

26. Yes but since most people are getting 2 doses, that's sorta scary.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

28. Vaccinations have slowed down, but...

... there's still progress!

I hope more medical doctors will contact their patients. My PCP (who I haven't seen for many months) was recently authorized to administer them, and her office was leaving messages with me multiple times a day about it! At least until I called them back to inform them that I was already vaccinated at a nearby pharmacy.

With full FDA approval soon, I hope we'll get more of an uptick.

The numbers aren't too bad among adults, the only demographic eligible for them at this point. That will change soon too.

Adults: 57.4% at one dose, 42.6% fully vaccinated.
Adults, 65+ years old: 83.3% at one dose, 70.6% fully vaccinated.

[ratchiweenie]

30. Yes, but still the numbers aren't enough for herd immunity. Too many Neanderthals still spreading it

around.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

31. True, not there yet!

Might never reach it, really, but every new vaccination will help lower the infection rates. And hospitalizations/deaths by a lot!

I don't like the slowdowns, but I'm still pretty optimistic with our more competent leadership now!

[Sanity Claws]

10. I think the OP and you have misunderstood the chart

If I understand it correctly, the percentages refer to doses distributed to the state that have been used, not the percentage of the population actually vaccinated. These numbers show that a lot of vaccine has been wasted. Sigh!
I've been following the vaccination rate in NYS and I think about 35% have been fully vaccinated and around 45% have had at least one dose. The rate in NYC is slightly higher than in NYS as a whole.

[littlemissmartypants]

39. The vaccine wasted should be, but is not, accounted for.

I was told that some of those who have scheduled to get the jab haven't shown up and the vaccine is then wasted. I wish people knew that particular. I don't know if it would influence the no shows but it does make us all more educated about the process.

❤

[Delphinus]

2. Thanks!

I will keep this reference.

[texasfiddler]

3. I wish these numbers were the percentage of population vaccinated.

[Liberal In Texas]

5. I agree. This really doesn't mean much, actually. Just the ratio of vacs to those supplies

delivered to the states.

I would like to know the % of people walking around unvaccinated.

[Duppers]

17. Me too! And I corrected my incorrect subject line.

Thank you so much!

[Scrivener7]

4. It's not the percentage of population. It's the percentage of received vaccinations used.

Big difference.

[JanMichael]

16. Thank you for pointing that out. This is a less meaningful % than fully vaccinated.

This ranking (same site) is closer related to sanity of population:

https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/public-health/states-ranked-by-percentage-of-population-vaccinated-march-15.html

The other ranking just shows, maybe, the effectiveness of the state agency responsible for distribution of available doses.

[Scrivener7]

25. Good find. It is sad that no state is over 50%. But we have, till now, only been

vaccinating adults. 22% of the population is under 18.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

6. Ohio is ranked near the middle...

... like nearly every other state ranking that I've ever seen.

And there's MS and AL at the bottom, which is also a common occurrence in various rankings.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. Same Here In Illinois

Right around 50% of people vaxxed. About the same as the US as a whole.

[HUAJIAO]

19. Not 50% of all people vaccinated, as others have indicated.

It means 50% of the vaccines that have been distributed SO FAR have been used. That is a huge difference.

[ProfessorGAC]

38. It's 50%

I live in Illinois. I check the vax numbers every few days.
As of Thursday night, about 9.5 million doses had been administered.
About 6 million people have gotten at least one dose.
We have a little over 12 million people. So, about 50%.
My numbers had nothing to do with the OP data.

[HUAJIAO]

41. That's great to hear.. sorry for the mix-up.

[ProfessorGAC]

43. No Worries!

Back at ya!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. If there's a ranking for "most boring", then...

... I'll expect to finally see Ohio at the top!

It was still near the top for "manufacturing", in one recent list that I saw.

I know that I've seen Illinois near the top in some state rankings, but I can't remember the details of them now!

States ranked by percentage of COVID-19 vaccines administered: May 7
Maia Anderson - Updated 23 hours ago

New Mexico has administered the highest percentage of COVID-19 vaccines it has received, according to the CDC's COVID-19 vaccine distribution and administration data tracker.

The CDC's data tracker compiles data from healthcare facilities and public health authorities. It updates daily to report the total number of COVID-19 vaccines that have been distributed to each state and the total number each state has administered.

As of 6 a.m. EDT May 6, a total of 324,610,185 vaccine doses had been distributed in the U.S., and 251,973,752 had been administered, or 77.62 percent. Additionally, 149,462,265 people had received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 108,926,627 had been fully vaccinated. That means 45 percent of the U.S. population had received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 32.8 percent had been fully vaccinated.

Below are the states and Washington, D.C., ranked by the percentage of COVID-19 vaccines they've administered of those that have been distributed to them. Some numbers may not reflect the actual number of vaccines administered, as coding problems and data lags have hindered efforts to accurately count and publicly report how many doses are administered daily in some states.

more...

Here’s the info for Georgia (I’m going to assume that Moderna and Pfizer would be counted as two vaccines, but a number of people are not returning for the second dose, thus further driving down the percentage of vaccine doses administered.)

49. Georgia
Doses distributed to state: 9,888,925
Doses administered: 6,552,673
Percentage of distributed vaccines that have been administered: 66.26

[Duppers]

15. Thanks for this!

Corrected it.

[CottonBear]

18. You're very welcome! It's easier to read the excerpt in the DU thread. 😀 nt

[Duppers]

22. Indeedy!

Thanks again.

[Lovie777]

21. Whoa . . .

California at 25 yippee!

Distributed - 41,020,990

Administered - 31,997,303

Previous population - approximately 40 million

Population republican's census 2020 - 39.9 million

great immigration from California - 185,000

[Buckeye_Democrat]

23. California has the lowest new cases...

... of infection per population in the entire country. That's the state's most impressive Covid-related accomplishment right now.


Unless the guidelines are later changed in my state, Ohio won't ease restrictions until we're below about 3.57 new daily cases per 100,000 population (50 new cases over a two-week period per 100k) ... which not even California has reached yet. But California is close!

[Johonny]

35. Is this percentage useful? California generally holds back 2nd shot as many states do

So the difference in the two numbers is not a useful number. It implies incompetency in the government not to be using the resources given them. But there's a reason for the difference not due to incompetence. It's not going to near each other so long as a state keeps giving out a large amount of number first shots.

California has done 63% of the eligible population now with one dose. And 43% both doses. Which is much more useful information.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

37. I agree.

Not just because even one dose is helpful, but it also gives an indication of future "fully vaccinated" numbers.

[malaise]

24. This is important

K&R

[alittlelark]

27. We're #1, We're #! !!!!!

[Duppers]

29. Congrats!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

33. Yep! The NE USA is doing the best...

... after states with higher percentages of Native Americans were in the lead initially. They were very fast to get vaccinated compared to other ethnic groups.

[Johonny]

36. Even this stat is not as useful as it appears to judge a state's progress

As a large percentage of the population is not eligible to be vaccinated. The percentage of the eligible population should also be used to understand how a state is doing. States with younger populations appear worse in this type of table.

[Duppers]

42. Excellent!

Thanks for taking time to do this! Much appreciated.

A pattern is obvious there.

[lindysalsagal]

34. Lowest dozen all maga states. No surprise there.

[littlemissmartypants]

40. Wasted doses? Are they being accounted for? nt
