Last year at this time, we were getting mostly single digit case counts daily. Now, with 84.10% of eligible Vermonters vaccinated, we are still having higher counts. That variant is virulent!
Delete6.73% partially vaccinated
77.37% fully vaccinated
84.10% received at least one dose
Percent of TOTAL population of Vermont fully vaccinated = 67.36%
DeleteThis is similar to the fraction of Illinoisans who have had at least one shot.

Just to say, I am still wearing a mask in public and Wil would like us to return to only grocery shopping late Sunday evenings. We're most often the only people wearing a mask now...except for pharmacists. Heh.
Very interesting story, listener. We continue about as we have, but socialize maskless with friends who are also fully vaccinated. Aside from that, always masked in stores etc. I will wear a fresh N95 mask for each meeting of my drawing class. Limiting your shopping excursions sounds very reasonable.
