There is great geographic variation in Covid-19 vaccination rates by urban-rural classification, according to an analysis by the CDC. Through January 2022, Americans aged 5 or older who live in the nation's largest metropolitan counties were most likely to have received at least one dose of a Covid vaccine. Those who live in rural counties were least likely to be vaxxed...
Percent of residents aged 5-plus with at least one dose of a Covid vaccine by urban-rural classification
80.4%: Large central metropolitan county
76.1%: Large fringe metropolitan county
72.2%: Medium metropolitan county
64.4%: Small metropolitan county
60.4%: Micropolitan county
55.8%: Rural county
In 11 states, fewer than half of rural county residents have been vaccinated: Indiana (49.1 percent), Louisiana (49.1 percent), Tennessee (49.1 percent), Florida (48.4 percent), Idaho (47.8 percent), Wyoming (47.6 percent), Georgia (47.6 percent), Missouri (46.6 percent), Ohio (44.7 percent), Nebraska (43.9 percent), and at the very bottom—Texas (41.4 percent).
Be careful out there.
