This is a nice snapshot for how fast Dane County* is vaccinating.
Left: one-dose stats as of 4/2
Right: one-dose stats as of 4/9.
From: https://dhs.wisconsin.gov/covid-19/vaccine-data.htm#residents
*(Dane County is basically the Madison, WI metro area + surrounding suburbs)
So in the past week: ~6.5% of the population got vaccinated for the first time, mostly concentrated among the 25-64 demo. Racial disparity continues to be a major issue, with black residents going up just 2.2 points to 17.1% compared to 46.7% in the county as a whole.
Very serious equality issues aside, I would say the Madison area is in a very enviable position as a county. We're a few days past where Israel was with vaccinations in early February (left), and (right) is what happened to Israel's COVID situation over the next 60 days
Dane County is near the top rate of vaccinated US counties with 28% fully vaccinated. In terms of mid-size counties (with around 500K people) it's easily top-10 (others: Morris Co, NJ; Fayette Co, KY; SF County, CA; Onandago Co, NY; Sarasota Co, FL; Orleans Parish, LA)
As far as small counties? Who cares. Bigger counties? Only Nassau and Manhattan Counties in New York are really doing comparable numbers to Dane County right now
Point of this thread is that Dane County (76%-22% Biden-Trump btw) is essentially the best-case scenario for vaccinations so far. It's 2 weeks ahead of WI and a month ahead of the US. May be good to track how variants/reopening/vaccine/refusers/equity math will shake out here
