10 States with the Lowest COVID-19 Vaccination Rates
Wyoming, Louisiana, and Oklahoma have the lowest percentage of population with shots in arms based on state population. Is your state among the other 7?
Wyoming has the lowest percentage of its population aged 18 years and older to have been vaccinated against infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, according to data from the CDC collected and compiled by Zinda Law Group. In evaluating the difference among the 50 states, researchers at the firm suggest they could be attributed to a number of factors, including "access to healthcare, vaccine availability, and varying public confidence in the vaccine itself.”
And while Wyoming ranked lowest on COVID-19 shots in arms, Rhode Island and Massachusetts jointly had the highest vaccination rates with approximately 90.1% of each state's population being protected against severe disease.
