Published:
An estimated 158,954,417 Americans have been fully vaccinated, or 48.6% 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 Minnesota, 52.9% of the population are fully vaccinated, higher than the U.S. average.
As of July 9, Minnesota has received about 6,588,200 vaccinations and administered about 90.2% 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 606,034 confirmed cases of the virus in Minnesota as of July 9 — or 10,800 for every 100,000 people. For context, there have been 10,225 known infections for every 100,000 people nationwide.
