As the U.S. braces for winter and flu season, the national COVID-19 vaccination effort is as urgent as it ever has been. So far, an estimated 187,714,829 Americans have been fully vaccinated, or 57.4% of the U.S. population.
Some states are proving more effective than others in getting their residents vaccinated. In Washington, 62.8% of the population are fully vaccinated, higher than the U.S. average.
Though Washington is doing a better job vaccinating its population than other states, there are still significant quantities of the vaccine sitting idle. As of Oct. 12, Washington has received about 11,708,300 vaccinations and administered about 84.4% of those doses.
Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread. In total, there have been 675,695 confirmed cases of the virus in Washington as of Oct. 12 — or 8,967 for every 100,000 people. For context, there have been 13,418 known infections for every 100,000 people nationwide.
