The least vaccinated places in the US
More than a year and a half since the first COVID-19 vaccines were rolled out -- at a record pace and with the promise of ending the worst public health crisis in a century -- several U.S. counties still have incredibly low rates of vaccination.
Inoculation against COVID and the pandemic at large have long been controversial issues in the U.S., but consistent public health campaigns have helped chip away at vaccine hesitance.
Still, despite having readily available safe and effective vaccines as well as booster doses, as of Wednesday, 24 counties in the U.S. have fewer than 30% of their populations with at least one dose against COVID-19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Seven counties are under 25%.

Counties with the lowest vaccination rates are scattered across the South, Midwest and Great Plains with five in North Dakota and three each in Texas and Montana.
