'Not a one-size-fits-all approach': Washington ranks 17th for share of people vaccinated
When it comes to getting at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, Washington is outpacing most of the country -- but it's still trailing behind 16 other states.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the state took the 17th spot out of all the states across the country and Washington, D.C. based on the percentage of people who have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The most recent data shows about 49.1% of the total population in Washington has had at least one vaccine dose. Among people 18 years and older, 61.9% have had at least one vaccine dose. That means a slight majority of people in total in the state have not yet received a dose of the vaccine, meaning the virus still has opportunities to spread.
Vermont ranked at the top of the list, with about 60% of its population having received at least one vaccine dose. It was followed by Massachusetts, Hawaii and New Hampshire, which all reported between 57% and 60% of people in the state had received at least one vaccine dose.
