Re: 13 States Already at 70% Vaccinated with at least one shot!

No, lower. My state is listed and as of this evening's news, we're not expected to be at 70% by July.

My state is well below that number. I think we are around 35-40%.

Success at getting out vaccines and making them available to everyone who wants them. Not the other stuff. We are doing really well with this aspect.

TN is too. But I got my shots and will get any boosters they roll out, so I'm still feeling really good. I just want to give credit to the states that are doing so well with this.

I don't believe those numbers are accurate. I take all information about Covid with a grain of salt.

The news about this Delta strain may get some people to the clinic.  

 

I am just happy that all who want the shots can get the shots.  The rest--c'est la vie.

I'm sorry that my statistics are annoying some of you. But I like science and I like statistics. We all have different interests and that is what makes life so fun. I hope you guys find some topics you enjoy and that you can contribute to them with your positivity.

 

I wish you good health and happiness in all of your choices.

I'm not sure where those numbers are coming from but in regards to Hawaii, our numbers as of today are:

 

HNN website:

As of Tuesday, 53% of the state was fully vaccinated while 60% had at least one dose.

 

I don't really care one way or the other, but thought I'd share what our local news is reporting as of today.

Well before the July 1st deadline, 13 states have already met the national goal of 70% of adults with at least one vaccination shot. We are doing great overall!
