Some States Are Vaccinating for COVID Faster Than Others, Here's How Idaho Stacks Up
Published:
An estimated 222,682,315 Americans have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or 68.1% of the U.S. population.
Some states are proving more effective than others in getting their residents vaccinated. In Idaho, 57.0% of the population are fully vaccinated, lower than the U.S. average.
Lower than average vaccination rates in Idaho appear to be attributable in part to vaccine hesitancy and resistance among residents. As of July 18, Idaho has received about 3,742,400 vaccinations and administered about 69.2% of those doses.
Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread. In total, there have been 470,457 confirmed cases of the virus in Idaho as of July 18 — or 26,819 for every 100,000 people. For context, there have been 26,906 known infections for every 100,000 people nationwide.
All COVID-19 and vaccination data used in this story are current as of July 18, 2022.
These are all the counties in Idaho where COVID-19 is slowing (and where it’s still getting worse).
