Twelve states have now reached the Biden administration’s goal to vaccinate 70% of adults with at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine by July 4, according to data published Tuesday by the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

California and Maryland join Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont in reaching that benchmark.

Overall, 296,404,240 total doses of Covid-19 have been reported administered, about 81% of the 366,317,045 total doses delivered.

The CDC did not update its Covid-19 data tracker on Monday, but about 1.5 million doses have been reported administered since Sunday, for a seven-day average of about 1.2 million doses per day.............................................

slowly but surely.

1. If lack of masks is any indication, almost everyone in my area is vaccinated.

62% of the people in my county are fully vaccinated. Maybe 10-15% wear a mask at the grocery store.

23. In NJ, we're still sporting maskss. While the state will ease restrictions no one trusts others.

.

Every community has MAGAts and fundies who have their kids congregate together.

2. Hmmmmmmm

296,404,240 administered, US population 331,449,281, if these numbers are accurate that leaves only about 35 M that have not received at least one dose..what am I missing

[Lonestarblue]

3. The Washington Post also reports the number of vaccinated with at least one dose.

Today’s number is 168.5 million. That’s a pretty big gap between 296 million and 168 million. Given the resistance to vaccines in the red states, I tend to doubt the 296 number. Texas alone has a population of around 30 million and only about half the people here have been vaccinated. Several other red states have millions of unvaccinated.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. Actually, in Texas only about 35% are fully vaccinated.

44% at least one dose.

Which is why I'm highly skeptical of a claim put forth that in Dallas some 506 people who were vaccinated got the virus, a bunch were hospitalized, and 7 died. Even the CDC no longer tracks supposed breakthrough infections because they are so rare, and according to their numbers never result in death and only rarely in hospitalization.

19. 44% is not nearly enough

I'm not much of sleeper so I tend to do my grocery shopping early in the morning...the checkers were maskless and the the social distancing floor markers had been removed..the checker said all employees were fully vaccinated so masks were no long mandatory...however, the woman checking out in front of me let everyone within hearing distance know that she was a proud anti-vaxxer, but carried a counterfeit vaccine card .....next week I'm going to visit my grandchildren (two of which are babies) in Colorado,..because of anti-vaxxers I cannot take the chance that I can "bring" the virus to them so the mask stays on....

12. 296 million total doses, not people.

Of the total administered, a lot of people have already had two. That cuts the number of people dosed down, so you can't subtract 296m from 331m because it's not 296m individuals.

16. Thank You

Wrote that in a hurry between chores...

5. I don't know what is wrong with CNN but their links suck.

[megapuzzler]

6. that's a lot higher than I thought

I've been following NPR's covid tracker and per that, Vermont is the only state with 70% with at least one dose.

7. I think that Vermont number

includes all the population, not just adults.

[apnu]

9. Illinois is 61% and climbing

I think Illinois will make it to 70% partial vaccinations by July 4.

10. The 70% of adults is significant

Sure, in the end, the total % of the population is what matters. but 70% of adults probably means that those adults will get their kids vaccinated when they are eligible. There will be some who get it for themselves, but not their children, hopefully that is a small number.

We're close to 51% of the total population with 1 shot, we got here much more quickly than anyone thought we could. But the next 20% is going to be slow going.

11. Biden Admin really is Making America Great Again

[Warpy]

13. If a low population, dirt poor state like New Mexico can do it

what the fuck is the matter with states like Fl;orida or Texas?

Oh, right, they're full of Republican dimwits.

(Sorry, still celebrating a Democratic win yesterday with a 30% margin)

[maxsolomon]

17. They're also full of poor people, many of whom don't know the shot is free.

Or they don't believe it because they've been burned on medical bills too many times.

NYT article about it today...

[Warpy]

18. You can bet the rent the Republicans ruling those states haven't told them that

They don't want poor people to cost their rich people any tax money.

[pazzyanne]

14. Minnesota is 64% and climbing

[patphil]

15. As of today, Vermont has already met that goal.

And 7 other states have reached 60% one dose. Seven more states, plus the District of Columbia are over 55%.

I think there is a very good chance at least 15 states will meet that goal by the 4th of July.
They have a little over 1 month to meet the goal.

Unfortunately, the gap between blue and red states keeps widening. Eight red states are under 40% one dose.

Scroll down to see a good pictorial chart of percentages for full and one dose by state.

20. As I pointed out a few days ago, all SIX New England states were among the first to reach the goal.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

21. 38 more to go. N/T

[Botany]

22. All Blue States

"California and Maryland join Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont in reaching that benchmark."

[AZ8theist]

25. My first thought...

I'd like to see data from the red states. I think people will be somewhat shocked.

[Botany]

26. I saw a ranking of all 51 (50 states & DC) and the top

.... 17 states in vaccination rates were all blue and of the top 25 states something like 21 or 22 were all blue states. The bottom 16 were all red. Google vaccination
rates or frequency per state.

[AZ8theist]

27. Not surprising...

[Botany]

28. Fox News and such, a collapsed public education system

Christian Evengelicals, and generational dumb fucking stupid is killing America. You don't see people in iron lungs anymore. Vaccines work.

[roamer65]

29. These states should require a verifiable vaccination passport for entry.

[Marie Marie]

24. Interesting. Been seeing a tourism ad for Alaska, saying they have the highest

vaccination rate yet they are not on this list.
