Some States Are Vaccinating for COVID Faster Than Others, Here's How Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin, 66.3% of the population are fully vaccinated, lower than the U.S. average.
Lower than average vaccination rates in Wisconsin appear to be attributable in part to vaccine hesitancy and resistance among residents. As of July 18, Wisconsin has received about 12,563,000 vaccinations and administered about 85.2% of those doses.
Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread. In total, there have been 1,746,344 confirmed cases of the virus in Wisconsin as of July 18 — or 30,039 for every 100,000 people. For context, there have been 26,906 known infections for every 100,000 people nationwide.
