HARTFORD While Connecticut just achieved the highest vaccination rate in the nation, Gov. Ned Lamont and state officials continue to worry about COVID-19 complacency stymieing the state’s progress.
Lamont on Monday spotlighted rankings from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing Connecticut is the first state to fully vaccinate more than 50% of its population over age 18.
The 50.3% rate reported Monday barely topped that threshold, and several others states were close behind New Mexico with 49.9% full vaccinated, South Dakota with 49.8%, and Maine with 49.3%.
“We’re the first state in the country to have over half of adults fully vaccinated. That is an extraordinary achievement that allows the reopening to continue in a prudent way,” Lamont said. “It makes such a big difference.”
