Full Vaccinations for the US and the Four Largest States, Including by Ages

The data are from The NY Times for the US, the largest states of CA, TX, FL, and NY.  We also include the local counties of Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego in California.

Nationally, 68% are fully vaccinated, meaning the first two original shots, and 34% of all ages are boosted.  For those most vulnerable, 65 and over, 93% are fully vaccinated, and 67% have at least one booster shot.  For the latest bivalent booster, as of November 18, only 35 million or 11% have gotten that.  They are now available for ages 5 and up for Pfizer and ages 6 and up for Moderna.

This table is the full and booster vaccinations for CA, TX, FL, and NY, and the age breakdown for full vaccinations for those states.

Age CA TX FL NY
Full All Ages 74% 62% 69% 79%
Booster All 42% 23% 29% 38%
5 to 11 39% 28% 22% 40%
12 to 17 75% 60% 57% 75%
18 to 64 82% 70% 74% 88%
65+ 93% 88% 93% 95%

We see that seniors, who are most at risk, have achieved high levels of full vaccination.  The Republican states of Texas and Florida lag the Democratic states of California and New York.  Together, these four states contain a third of the US population.

This table has the full and booster vaccinations for all and for 65+ of the three counties surrounding UC Irvine:  Orange County, Los Angeles County, and San Diego County.

Age Orange Los Angeles San Diego
All Full 74% 74% 79%
65+ Full 93% 88% 95%
All Booster 43% 42% 41%
65+ Booster 75% 72% 74%

Again, ages 65+ have achieved high full vaccination rates, and fairly good full vaccinations for all.  Booster rates are fairly good for 65+, but only around 40% of the entire population.  The three counties are quite similar.
