IMPORTANT: For “herd immunity” most experts believe we need 70% to 85% of the total population fully vaccinated (or already had COVID). Note: COVID will probably stay endemic (at least for some time).
The following 20 states have between 50% and 59.9% fully vaccinated: Florida at 59.9%, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, South Dakota, Texas, Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, Alaska, Utah, North Carolina, Ohio, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Indiana at 50.0%.
Next up (total population, fully vaccinated according to CDC) are Missouri at 49.9%, Georgia at 48.5%, Arkansas at 48.2%, and Tennessee at 47.9%.
