CLEVELAND — To date, over 14% of Ohio’s population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as the state continues in Phase 1B of its rollout, with priority for those over 65. But how does Ohio compare to other states, and how does your county compare to the rest of the state?
How does Ohio compare?

Idaho, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, New York, Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee, Utah, Texas and Georgia rank below Ohio’s 14% rate. Alaska ranks the highest, with 23% of its population having received at least one dose.

Ohio has used 2,599,806 vaccine doses of the 3,301,865 delivered, or 79%, according to CDC data. That makes it the 29th highest U.S. state in terms of vaccine supply currently used. The top state, New Mexico, has used 96% of the vaccine doses delivered.
