In New York, 46.5 percent of the population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Almost 35 percent of New Yorkers are fully vaccinated.
So, progress. Worth a celebratory dance by Gurdeep Pandher of the Yukon, yes? (Here he is two months ago, sending positive vibes about his first shot. He's fully vaccinated now.)
But wait, there's more. Multiple states are way ahead of us in the one-dose category. Per the Centers for Disease Control, here are the Top 10:
- New Hampshire — 73%
- Massachusetts — 69%
- Connecticut — 67%
- Vermont — 67%
- Maine — 66%
- Hawaii — 66%
- New Jersey — 65%
- New Mexico — 65%
- Rhode Island — 64%
- Pennsylvania — 62%
Notice anything about that list? Oh! They're all blue states. (And yes, New England, you get a gold star. All six of your states are in the Top 10.) Without further ado, here are the Bottom 10:
- South Carolina — 46%
- Arkansas — 46%
- Idaho — 45%
- Georgia — 45%
- West Virginia — 44%
- Wyoming — 44%
- Tennessee — 44%
- Louisiana — 42%
- Alabama — 41%
- Mississippi — 40%
Republicans in charge in all of them. Which means that anyone with a brain shouldn't be traveling to the Bottom 10, right? Will that get their governors' and state legislatures' attention? We cats HISS.
