Montgomery County is continuing to lag slightly behind both Pennsylvania and national averages in its share of fully vaccinated residents, according to The New York Times, although that may change with the latest announcement of the largest shipment of the vaccine to date, and new vaccine clinics opening in Montco.

The data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that as of April 5, Montgomery County had fully vaccinated 18 percent of its entire population. This is slightly below the state average of 18.9 percent and the national average of 19 percent.

Compared to neighboring counties, Montgomery County is in line with Chester County’s 18 percent and below Bucks County’s 19 percent.

In the adults 18 or older category, 21 percent of county residents are fully vaccinated. That is below the national average of 23.2 percent. It is also below Chester County’s 23 percent and Bucks County’s 22 percent.

The difference is much starker for residents age 65 and older, where the county has fully vaccinated 39 percent of people compared to the nation’s 54.9 percent. Chester County is also above at 46 percent as is Bucks County at 39 percent.
