And Again, The Dakotas Lead The Nation -- Chinese Flu Watch -- January 15, 2021

Vaccinations: state rankings by rate of vaccination, per 100 people, link here:

  • West Virginia: 7.06
  • North Dakota: 6.42
  • South Dakota: 6.14 doses;
  • National average: 3.5 doses per thousand
  • Minnesota: far behind with less than 3 doses per hundred
  • California: 2.5 doses -- about half that of South Dakota

Percent of allocated vaccine already administered:

  • North Dakota: 71%
  • South Dakota: 61%
  • California: 28%

In storage:

  • 2.5 million vaccine doses in storage
  • NYC: 34%; 500,000 doses waiting in storage;

Other data points:

  • In addition to these strong figures, ND and SD lead the nation in natural "penetration" rate: penetration rate of natural "cases" + vaccination --> herd immunity
  • South Dakota: used electronic health records to identify individuals who qualified for the vaccine to avoid unnecessary storage;

Tracking at Bloomberg. Nice interactive graphic.
