Nearly 300,000 Americans in rural areas completed a COVID-19 vaccination series last week, translating to the largest weekly gain since mid-July, per data published by the nonprofit Center for Rural Strategies.
States with low vaccination rates appear to be gaining pace: Missouri was tied with the largest uptick in new vaccinations at 88% last week with almost 19,000 shots versus fewer than 10,000 two weeks ago. Alabama and Oklahoma were also among states with significant increases in new inoculations over the last week. States with above-average vaccination rates are picking up vaccination rates too, according to the report which cites New Mexico and Hawaii, each with weekly vaccination rates climbing to 75% and 66%, respectively.More Related News
