Iron County is leading the state when it comes to the percentage of people that have gotten at least one shot. 18.5 percent of Iron County residents have gotten at least their first dose.
Oneida County is tied with Bayfield County for 5th highest at 16.7 percent.
Iron, Oneida, Price, Vilas, and Forest Counties are all above the state average. Lincoln and Langlade Counties are below it. These will likely even out as vaccine rollout moves further along.
