"In some counties, vaccination rates increased after the pandemic, which got them past the recommended level of protection. Many more counties decreased their rates though."
"The Washington Post made an interactive map to see where your county stands. I'm into the lede map that makes the decreasing counties fall into the depths below the rest of the country."
After the pandemic, county-level vaccination rates shifted unevenly. Some counties recorded increases that pushed coverage past recommended protection thresholds. Many more counties experienced declines in vaccination rates. An interactive county-level map shows current standings and allows users to locate their county. The map's lead visualization emphasizes counties with decreasing rates by visually placing them lower than others, creating a striking contrast. The observed pattern suggests widening geographic disparities in vaccination coverage and highlights the need for targeted public-health outreach and monitoring.
