Among age groups in Stafford and Fredericksburg, people in their 60s account for 4,335 people with at least one dose. The 70s and 50s age groups follow with 4,200 and 3,912 vaccinations respectively. The 50s age group leads the way for fully vaccinated people with 2,204 individuals who have received both vaccine doses.
