Counties with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rate in Ohio
Counties with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rate in Ohio
As has been true throughout America’s COVID-19 history, every state—and every county threin—has its own COVID-19 story, driven by local policies and behaviors. The United States as of April 20 had reached 568,439 COVID-19-related deaths and more than 31.8 million COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins University. Amid the grim numbers come two bright spots: As of Feb. 2, more Americans had been vaccinated for COVID-19 than had been infected; and since then, rolling averages for case counts and deaths have been on the decline.

Counties are ranked by the highest vaccination rate as of April 19, 2021. In Ohio, 26.7% of the total population has been fully vaccinated, compared to 25.6% nationwide.
