Here is a detailed picture of vaccination across the country. See where your county stands.
The first nationwide look at vaccination across counties reveals vast differences in the rate that people are receiving protection from the coronavirus, with notably lower rates in predominantly Black areas and counties that voted most heavily for President Donald Trump in 2020.
| Share of pop. fully vaccinated | State average | U.S. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total | XX% | XX% | XX% |
| Age 18+ | XX% | XX% | XX% |
| Age65+ | XX% | XX% | XX% |
The data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the success in vaccination in Native American areas. In Arizona, for instance, the predominantly Native American counties have at least 35 percent of adults fully vaccinated while many mostly White or Hispanic counties have fewer than 20 percent. Alaska also stands out for high vaccination in part because of doses targeted at Alaska Natives living in more than 200 indigenous tribes, who have received additional doses through the Indian Health Service.
The county data exposes the missing information about who is being protected. Many states are not collecting or sharing basic facts about who is being vaccinated so their information was not released. Data from other states is too spotty to include in the Washington Post analysis.

For the states with usable information, 45 percent of people age 65 and older, 18.2 percent of all adults 18 or older, and 14.3 percent of the entire population are fully vaccinated. The map shows many regions far below the level, however, such as southern Missouri, New York’s Southern Tier and Mohawk Valley, and the coastal region of South Carolina.
The records don’t indicate large differences between urban and rural areas. Major cities, suburbs, smaller cities and rural areas have roughly the same rates for all adults and for adults 65 and older.
Vaccination rates for predominantly Black areas are lower than for Native American, White and Asian American counties.
The largely Black counties trail by an even wider margin in vaccinating people age 65 and up. Hispanic counties have a smaller share of vaccination for all adults than White, Asian American and Native American areas, but do not have lower vaccination rates for people age 65 and up.
Counties where Trump won at least 80 percent of the vote in the 2020 presidential election show a notable drop in vaccination rates.
The vaccination rate is level across counties won by President Biden in 2020 and counties that were relatively evenly split between Trump and Biden. This pattern holds true for vaccination rates of all adults and for people age 65 and up. The decline with a Trump vote contrasts the consistent vaccination overall between urban and rural areas.
