See how California vaccinations compare to the rest of the US, according to CDC data

It’s been almost a year since the COVID-19 vaccine has been available, with its first recipients being front line hospital workers.

Now, more than 190 million people, or nearly 58% of the population, are fully vaccinated in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Vaccination rates, however, vary from state to state. As of the end of October, California trails behind New Mexico, Oregon and Maine with a second-dose rate of 61%, according to CDC data.

California reports more than 72% of its population is fully vaccinated. This means roughly 24.7 million people are at least two weeks past their second shot of a two-dose vaccine (or one single shot vaccine, like Johnson & Johnson).

It is important to note state and CDC data often vary.

Differences in vaccination rates can be zeroed into specific communities. As seen in Sacramento, low vaccine numbers are prevalent in low-income neighborhoods, and adolescents and teens.
