States ranked by percentage of population fully vaccinated: Sept. 17

[douglas9]

Vermont has the highest percentage of its population fully vaccinated against COVID-19, 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 people in each state who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. The numbers reported by the CDC may vary from the numbers published on individual states' public health websites, as there may be reporting lags between the states and the CDC.

As of 6 a.m. EDT Sept. 16, a total of 180,086,143 Americans had been fully vaccinated, or 54.2 percent of the country's population, according to the CDC's data.

Below are the states and Washington, D.C., ranked by the percentage of their population that has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the CDC.

1. We're number 2 with a bullet!

[jimfields33]

6. Florida 21. Thought we'd be worse.

Glad we did ok.

[Bayard]

2. WV--dead last

(No pun intended). Looks like Manchin needs to concentrate more on getting his state vaccinated than holding up important legislation.

[Hortensis]

7. WV's economically predatory RW governor is calling for vaccination.

Perhaps the state's economic problems for the wealthy are finally outpacing the opportunities to cash in.

[Duppers]

18. Amen!

[FakeNoose]

3. Large employers are starting to require worker vaccinations

... and that will make a big difference. "Get your shots or get laid off" can be a powerful incentive.

Also the schools will start vaccinating school-age kids. It will be just like the early '60s when they distributed the polio vaccine and TB tests through the schools. I think once that happens (hopefully soon) some of the parents will back down and get vaccinated too.

[Hortensis]

8. Yes. Big game changers. RWers should enjoy their holocaust while they can. nt

[JustAnotherGen]

4. This is why Murphy is going to win again

6. New Jersey
Number of people fully vaccinated: 5,637,535
Percentage of population fully vaccinated: 63.47



Well done governor - well done!

5. illinois smack in the middle. le sigh.

a lot of it is south of i80, y'all queda territory. but chicago isnt doing that well, either.
i dont catch much local news, but i know i havent seen any big pr push here. not on fb, anyway. tho we did have a pair of nice ladies going door to door about a month ago, trying to hook up anyone who still needed a shot.

mandates are kicking in tho. that will help.

[Elessar Zappa]

10. Yeah, Illinois is a bit lower

than I would expect.

[Me.]

9. While Ranked 8 New York Is Doing Incredibly Well

with over 12 million vaccinated. No other state aside from Florida, unbelievably, comes close.

[GregariousGroundhog]

11. One thing to keep in mind is that 85% is roughly the max attainable percentage right now

No vaccine is approved for children under the age of 12.

[BannonsLiver]

12. Hawaii has more than 57 percent

IN fact, when they hit 60 percent as a state last summer their governor dropped the pre-travel testing requirement for visitors. Some of the other numbers seem dated too. What is Beckers Hospital Review?

[mnhtnbb]

13. The problem with these lists is the counting of total population--which includes children--

who aren't eligible for vaccines.

Take North Carolina--where I live--for instance. On this list it ranks 36th with 48.68% of population vaccinated. Behind Florida. WTF?
Florida population is skewed older and the over 65 population generally has a higher percentage vaccinated.

On our NC Covid tracking website, it lists 63% of the adult population fully vaccinated. That's a big difference.

14. In Tennessee it varies considerably depending on where you live

Generally the large metro areas have much higher full vaccination rates than the rural areas. Here are some examples:

Largest metro areas:
Knox county (Knoxville) 52.77%
Davidson county (Nashville) 54.92%
Hamilton county (Chattanooga) 49.21%
Shelby County (Memphis) 42.47%

Some rural counties:
Cannon county 26.50%
Grundy county 22.77%
Hancock county 27.02%
Moore county 18.95%

15. Missouri & Arkansas at the bottom of the heap !!

[KS Toronado]

16. Any Texas ladies thinking of moving out of state?

Vermont's looking like a good place to go.

[Botany]

17. Darwin at work

Top 20 states (including D.C.) for vaccination rates all voted blue ... 22 of the top 25 for vaccine rates all voted blue

the bottom 26 states for vaccination rates all but 3 voted red.

God Damn it this should not now or never have been a political issue but a public health and or medical science
issue but it has become political. And this is why the disease has kept spreading.

In 2022 and 2024 we should hang the response to C-19 around the Republicans and Fox News' neck.
