Low vaccinations, Delta variant fuel surge in cases across the South

View Comments For months it felt like life had returned to normal. COVID-19 vaccines were readily available and as a result new case numbers were falling nationally. It’s a precarious situation across several Southern states where health workers continue to battle rampant vaccine hesitancy and misinformation, resulting in some of the lowest vaccination rates in the country.  Less than 35% of the population in Alabama and Mississippi have been fully vaccinated as of July 19, according to data reported by their state health departments. Alabama had the lowest vaccination rate in the U.S. among adults averaging at about 33.4%. Arkansas, Wyoming and Louisiana are also among the top five states with low vaccination rates, with little more than 35% of adults vaccinated against COVID-19, according to state health data.
