  1. ==1,156,453 vaccines administered equals 9.1 percent of the state’s population.==

    Does this number include second vaccinations that have been given? If so, the percentage of population actually vaccinated would be lower.

  2. @Magic Dragon.

    Yes, it does. IDPH says 256,839 people are fully vaccinated. So it’s really 256,839 (2.0%) with 2 doses, leaving 642,775 with one dose (5.0%). So it’s 7.1% of the population. The numbers will get more complicated (but better!) when the one-dose J&J vaccine is available.
