The number of newly completed coronavirus vaccinations in rural counties fell for the third week in a row over the week of Oct. 29-Nov. 4, marking the lowest pace since mid-August.
"Newly completed vaccinations fell by about 20% last week compared to two weeks ago. Rural (nonmetropolitan) counties reported 166,000 newly completed vaccinations the week of Friday, October 29, through Thursday, November 4, 2021. That’s down from about 207,000 two weeks ago," Tim Murphy and Tim Marema report for The Daily Yonder. "Meanwhile, the number of newly completed vaccinations in metropolitan counties grew by more than 15% last week compared to two weeks ago. Metropolitan counties reported 1.6 million newly completed Covid-19 vaccinations last week, compared to 1.4 million two weeks ago."
Last week's jabs increased the rural vaccination rate by 0.4 percentage points to 44.5% of the population, and increased the metro vaccination rate by 0.6 percentage points to 56.6%—a 12.1 percentage point gap, Murphy and Marema report.
