Rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine in the United States got off to a much slower start than the federal government initially anticipated. In response, the Biden Administration announced plans to vaccinate 300 million Americans by the end of the summer. Whether or not this timeline is achievable remains to be seen. Currently, 96,747,454 people have been fully vaccinated, or 29.6% of the U.S. population.
So far, states have largely managed their own vaccination coordination efforts — and some have proven more efficient at it than others. In Florida, 27.9% of the population are fully vaccinated, lower than the U.S. average.
Lower than average vaccination rates in Florida appear to be attributable in part to less efficient vaccination rollout. As of April 27, Florida has received about 19,934,500 vaccinations and administered about 73.7% of those doses.
As the virus mutates and new variants spread, vaccinating the population as rapidly as possible is critical. In total, there have been 2,167,190 confirmed cases of the virus in Florida as of April 27 — or 10,175 for every 100,000 people. For context, there have been 9,702 known infections for every 100,000 people nationwide.
