Communities with high vaccination rates are expected to have an extra line of defense against the coronavirus, though more data is needed about how vaccines protect from the contagious omicron variant.

Omicron was declared a "variant of concern" in December and last week accounted for over 95% of coronavirus strains circulating the U.S. The current wave has resulted in record-breaking hospitalizations and on Tuesday the Food and Drug Administration predicted that most people will get the virus.

According to data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, around 74.5% of people in the U.S. have received their first shot, and 62.6% are fully vaccinated as of Jan. 11 data. All states have now partially vaccinated at least 50% of their population.

These are the states with the highest partial vaccination rates:
1. New Hampshire (95%)

2. Massachusetts (92.2%)

3. Hawaii (91.8%)

4. Rhode Island (90.7%)
