Counties with the highest COVID-19 vaccination rate in Alabama

As has been true throughout America’s COVID-19 history, every state—and every county therein—has its own COVID-19 story, driven by local policies and behaviors. The United States as of August 28 had reached 637,259 COVID-19-related deaths and more than 38.8 million COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins University. As of Feb. 2, more Americans had been vaccinated for COVID-19 than had been infected, and though breakthrough infections are continuing to be studied by the CDC and other health organizations, vaccines have reduced the number of hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.

Stacker compiled a list of the counties with highest COVID-19 vaccination rates in Alabama using data from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Counties are ranked by the highest vaccination rate as of August 26, 2021. In Alabama, 37.0% of the total population has been fully vaccinated, compared to 52.7% nationwide. Keep reading to see whether your county ranks among the highest COVID-19 vaccination rates in your state.
