The amount of fully vaccinated Americans is now at 48% which is good relatively speaking if you are in one of the higher vaccinated states because it reduces your chance of getting covid the more people who are vaccinated in your state. There have been 334 million vaccines administered so far.
I myself and my wife had to drive north over the Golden Gate Bridge to be able to get vaccinated in March and April twice. It was the closest place where we could arrange getting vaccinated so it took us several hours to drive there and several hours back. However, in our county farm workers were prioritized along with 65 and older Au Pair child and older adult caretakers from other countries with a green card working here in the U.S. So, people like ourselves couldn't get vaccinated locally. All of our neighbors had to go one or more counties away to get vaccinated who were retired. So, it took one whole day basically with traffic for us to get vaccinated each time so I understand the difficulties involved with trying to get vaccinated and then dealing with the after results the first few days of getting vaccinated because I didn't feel like driving a car for several days each vaccination. But, I didn't get sick but felt like I had drunk a 6 pack of beer or a lot of wine and knew I shouldn't be driving a car or truck for a few days after the vaccination each time.
The 14 day average right now is 16,334 new cases per day are being found. So, the number of cases is rising dramatically now because of the Delta and Delta Plus Variants, especially in low vaccination states.
There are states like Vermont that have vaccinated 80% of their people but this high a percentage is rare. But, many many states are 50% or more vaccinated. I'm not sure how up to date these graphs are but if you click on one or more of them it gives you the basic idea of just how many percentage wise in your state are getting vaccinated. The higher the number of vaccinated people the better chance you have of staying alive in these states the next 10 or 20 years as the variants roar by.
