An analysis of the states with the highest and lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates to date shows a stark partisan divide
The 20 states with the highest rates of residents who have received at least one vaccine dose all went to Joe Biden in last year’s presidential election
Nineteen of the 21 states with the lowest vaccination rates supported Donald Trump
Vermont has at least partially vaccinated the highest percentage of its residents, at 61.9%, while Mississippi has the lowest vaccination rate at 32%

After months of overwhelming vaccine demand in San Diego County, some local health systems are turning down doses. Others are asking for less vaccine.
That would have seemed unthinkable a few months ago, when San Diegans scoured the Internet for appointments, spent hours locked in bumper-to-bumper traffic and lined up late into the evening outside immunization sites all in the name of getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
But that was then. This is now. The balance of vaccine supply and demand has shifted drastically. The county, health systems and smaller providers now must figure out the best way to get shots into the arms of San Diegans who are more ambivalent and, in some cases, more hesitant than those who’ve already been inoculated.
Study: Republicans became increasingly vaccine hesitant over the course of the pandemic
Individuals who self-identify as Republicans became more skeptical of a potential COVID-19 vaccine and other inoculations, such as the flu shot, over the course of the pandemic, reveals a new study by the University of California San Diego s Rady School of Management.
The paper, published in
PLOS ONE, measured general attitudes toward vaccines and assessed whether study participants would get a potential COVID-19 vaccine as well as the seasonal flu shot. It also gauged trust in media.
We found Republicans became increasingly vaccine hesitant and less trusting of media from March to August of 2020, while Democrats views on the two topics stayed the same.
