Lower Vaccination Rates Correspond With Higher Infection Rates

About 2.2 million Californians live in counties where fewer than 50% of residents age 12 and older had received at least one vaccine dose by June 18. From May 1 to June 18, those counties reported higher infection rates than counties with relatively high vaccination rates.


Note: Data for June 18 retrieved from state on June 30.
