As the number of people fully vaccinated from COVID-19 in Wisconsin surpassed 1.5 million on Thursday, three counties reported more than half their populations had received a shot.
In Dane, Door and Bayfield counties, at least 50% of residents have received at least one dose of vaccine, state data shows.
At the other end of the spectrum, the rural Taylor and Clark counties report the lowest vaccination rates in the state, with roughly 21% of residents vaccinated.
As the rollout continues, health officials say they are working on ways to bridge the gap in communities that have not seen high enough vaccination rates, including redirecting doses to places that need to catch up.
