About 60 million people in the US over age 5 haven't yet been vaccinated against Covid. Here's a breakdown of who they are based on the latest CDC data, and who I'm most worried about. 1/thread
One-third of unvaccinated people are kids ages 5-11 who recently became eligible. Another third are young adults (ages 18-39) who are less likely overall to seek health care. These groups could benefit from vaccine protection but aren't at high risk of dying from Covid. 2/
Nor are teens, ages 12-17. They also recently became eligible for vaccination, and two-thirds of them are vaccinated—but around 8 million are not. 3/
Then there's the most concerning group. Almost 14 million people age 40 or older are unvaccinated and face a higher risk of severe illness and death from Covid:
6 million ages 40-49
5 million ages 50-64
1.6 million ages 65-74
1 million age 75+

1.6 million ages 65-74
1 million age 75+

White people make up about 60% of the population, but nearly 70% of all unvaccinated. 5/
Close to 30% of all unvaccinated people are in just four states: Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Georgia. 6/
Unvaccinated people are more likely to get infected with Covid and to become severely ill, as this stunning graph from CDC shows. Get up-to-date on your vaccination! bit.ly/3tY7oS9 7/end
