Answer:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>According to\u00a0CDC’s county-level tracker<\/a>, MoCo has fully vaccinated 90% of its residents ages 12+ and 96% of its residents ages 65+.\u00a0 Of all Maryland’s counties, MoCo has the highest proportion of residents ages 12+ fully vaccinated (range: 90% in MoCo to 49% in Garrett).\u00a0 What you read is correct!\u00a0 When it comes to other countries with high vaccination rates, it’s important to keep in mind that CDC began tracking\u00a0county-level trends<\/a>\u00a0in vaccination uptake in late March 2021; the data are not available for every county, and quality\/timeliness of the data varies by location. For example, CDC’s data show that Santa Cruz county, Arizona has fully vaccinated 100% of its residents (highest in the country). While the county has indeed experienced\u00a0very high vaccination uptake<\/a>, 100% coverage is unlikely, as the local paper, Nogales International, described\u00a0in reporting<\/a>\u00a0from earlier this summer.\u00a0 Here, it’s the linkage of vaccinations provided with residence data that’s likely off– Santa Cruz provided many doses to workers who live outside the county and these doses may have been counted as doses to residents.\u00a0 If there are other states\/counties you’re interested in, you can get a snapshot from the\u00a0NY Times COVID Tracker<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>or you can ask me to pull charts using CDC’s data.cdc.gov dataset,\u00a0COVID-19 Vaccinations in the United States,County<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
