The rapidly spreading Delta variant is fueling a surge in new cases of COVID-19 and adding urgency to the vaccination effort. So far, an estimated 164,446,964 Americans have been fully vaccinated, or 50.3% of the U.S. population.
So far, states have largely managed their own vaccination coordination efforts — and some have proven more effective than others. In Michigan, 48.8% of the population are fully vaccinated, lower than the U.S. average.
Lower than average vaccination rates in Michigan appear to be attributable in part to a greater prevalence vaccine hesitancy and resistance among residents. As of July 30, Michigan has received about 12,036,600 vaccinations and administered about 81.4% of those doses.
Meanwhile, the virus continues to spread. In total, there have been 1,009,327 confirmed cases of the virus in Michigan as of July 30 — or 10,097 for every 100,000 people. For context, there have been 10,565 known infections for every 100,000 people nationwide.
