(30,613 posts)1. Now, on to the boosters (Delta upgrades).
And kids! And what about the unfortunate folks who got stuck with the J&J?

(34,069 posts)2. That's 70%**
** = one dose, not fully vaccinated.
It's a start, but we've still got a long ways to go.

(49,990 posts)3. That is encouraging.
On the other hand, I just saw some counties here that are WAAAAY below average. My parent's county has only a 30% vaccination rate (for all age groups).

(4,999 posts)4. 70% is great, but that was when Beta was the assumption. Delta needs 80 or 90%
I'm not sure how much more than 70, but a lot more.
We have to get folks fully vaxxed too, not stopping at 1 dose because they read somewhere 1 was enough.
The tide is turning tho', and in a good direction.
