Residents of the Twin States continue to get vaccinated at relatively high rates and mask mandates in New Hampshire are easing, but Covid-19 cases and hospitalization rates also remain high.
When ranked nationally, New Hampshire comes in second and Vermont fourth in terms of Covid-19 vaccine administration per 100,000 people, according to the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation’s weekly Covid-19 modeling report.
As of April 15, 181,500 Vermonters, 29% of the state’s population, and 363,300 Granite Staters, almost 27% of the population, were fully vaccinated against Covid-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Covid data tracker. A larger share had received at least one dose: in Vermont, 278,600, nearly 45%, and in New Hampshire, 764,600, more than 56%.
New Hampshire and Vermont are excelling in COVID-19 vaccination, but there’s plenty more to do
