Potter, Fulton, Bedford, Perry and Tioga counties make up the bottom of the list, each with fewer than 16% of residents vaccinated.
Sparsely-populated Forest, Montour and Elk counties, all Republican-leaning, were among those with the highest percentage of vaccinated people. Democratic-favoring Lackawanna County and GOP-dominant Butler County also were near the top.
Though interest varies by county, Aument said vaccine providers around the state are reporting a slowdown in people scheduling new appointments.
This was confirmed by state Department of Health Spokeswoman Maggi Barton who noted that despite this dip in interest, providers are still administering 100,000 vaccines each day.

About 1,000 people are expected to get a COVID-19 vaccination by early next week at Franklin County s first and only mass vaccination center.
The new center at the former Burlington store at Chambersburg Mall, located off of Interstate 81 Exit 20, will be open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. This Thursday, April 22, is the first day.
People must have an appointment in order to be vaccinated. Walk-ins will receive assistance to schedule an appointment at a later time.
As it has with other counties in southcentral Pennsylvania, WellSpan Health worked with Franklin County government and the emergency services department to open the vaccination center.
