If I understand it correctly, the percentages refer to doses distributed to the state that have been used, not the percentage of the population actually vaccinated. These numbers show that a lot of vaccine has been wasted. Sigh!
I've been following the vaccination rate in NYS and I think about 35% have been fully vaccinated and around 45% have had at least one dose. The rate in NYC is slightly higher than in NYS as a whole.

It's a percentage of the doses used so far... Buckeye_Democrat May 2021 #9

Ah. Thank you. jimfields33 May 2021 #11

You're welcome, and I agree! Buckeye_Democrat May 2021 #14

Yes but since most people are getting 2 doses, that's sorta scary. ratchiweenie May 2021 #26

Vaccinations have slowed down, but... Buckeye_Democrat May 2021 #28

Yes, but still the numbers aren't enough for herd immunity. Too many Neanderthals still spreading it ratchiweenie May 2021 #30

The vaccine wasted should be, but is not, accounted for. littlemissmartypants May 2021 #39

Thanks! Delphinus May 2021 #2

I wish these numbers were the percentage of population vaccinated. texasfiddler May 2021 #3

I agree. This really doesn't mean much, actually. Just the ratio of vacs to those supplies Liberal In Texas May 2021 #5

Me too! And I corrected my incorrect subject line. Duppers May 2021 #17

It's not the percentage of population. It's the percentage of received vaccinations used. Scrivener7 May 2021 #4

Thank you for pointing that out. This is a less meaningful % than fully vaccinated. JanMichael May 2021 #16

Good find. It is sad that no state is over 50%. But we have, till now, only been Scrivener7 May 2021 #25

Ohio is ranked near the middle... Buckeye_Democrat May 2021 #6

Indeedy! Duppers May 2021 #22

Whoa . . . Lovie777 May 2021 #21

California has the lowest new cases... Buckeye_Democrat May 2021 #23

I agree. Buckeye_Democrat May 2021 #37

Excellent! Duppers May 2021 #42

Lowest dozen all maga states. No surprise there. lindysalsagal May 2021 #34
