An estimated 222,455,652 Americans have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or 68.0% of the U.S. population.

Some states are proving more effective than others in getting their residents vaccinated. In Rhode Island, 84.0% of the population are fully vaccinated, higher than the U.S. average.

Though Rhode Island is doing a better job vaccinating its population than other states, there are still significant quantities of the vaccine sitting idle. As of July 11, Rhode Island has received about 2,758,300 vaccinations and administered about 83.4% of those doses.

Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread. In total, there have been 384,220 confirmed cases of the virus in Rhode Island as of July 11 — or 36,339 for every 100,000 people. For context, there have been 26,646 known infections for every 100,000 people nationwide.

All COVID-19 and vaccination data used in this story are current as of July 11, 2022.

These are all the counties in Rhode Island where COVID-19 is slowing (and where it’s still getting worse).
