Reaction: I am pleasantly surprised FL is at 65.9%. Hopefully our fellow citizens can wise up and get the overall rate to herd immunity sooner rather than later (70 or 75%, forget the precise figure).

Good job, CT. You surpassed VT at 78.8%.

Alabama must be relieved, that WV is dead last now. Come on people, get vaccinated totally !

ETA: I copied the chart, so this will be small, sorry ! Notice that the chart is ordered for the "only one shot" population. The chart is very much out of order if you are looking at the "fully vaccinated" percentages. I have no idea why this chart is out of sync with data you all have. It comes from the CDC (bottom of third chart image).

1. There used to be a local talk show host that said WV

was 49 or 50 on everything good and 1 or 2 on everything
bad. Thank God for Mississippi. Their governor promoted the vacinne too with free trucks,Guns and money.

2. woot-woot - MA is at 88%, second highest after HI

That's one dose though. Still damned impressive.

3. Overall Oregon (my state) is doing pretty well

But my county is dreadful. I don't think we've even cracked the 50% mark. A toxic combination of Trumpies and woo-woo anti-vaxxers.

We are seriously considering moving because that will never get better.

4. 66% is the at least one dose rate not full vaccination. Full vax is 56%

Fingers crossed people keep getting vaccinated and everyone gets their second dose.

5. herd immunity won't happen

From what I have read herd immunity "is unlikely to happen" (quote from NY Times article July 21). I wish it were otherwise. If we are lucky, it will become a mild infection that can be treated.

6. Shocked we jumped from 48% to 65.9 in a short time in Florida. Guess word is out 50,000 deaths

Those numbers got their attention.

7. "dead last" is a ghoulish but apt phrase to choose. . . . nt

8. Here in IL we have the northern part of the state....73+%, southern part 49-51%...pitiful!

9. Can't see because of paywall. But way different than

actnowcovid.org snapshot

Are they measuring just adults?

11. see here please, chart says "adult", not sure of the precise criteria for that

13. Thank you. Guess CT has fewer kids. Like 5th among all pop.

10. I apologize for this chart being small, but I had to copy it from the NY Times website...

You will see at the very top of the columns why I picked 65.9% as the Florida fully vaccinated figure. The NY Times got their data from the CDC (see bottom of third image). I do not know why this data is different from other charts you all have, but.... here it is.
