commercial tenants as well as multiple notices for a

Note: The local unemployment figures below are not “seasonally adjusted.” Summer months tend to see a cyclical increase each year due to the end of the school year (ex: teachers) – see also, for instance, the increase from May to June in 2019 pre-COVID.

Note: Estimates based on best available data as of 10.19.2021. For the most up-to-date information, please see: montgomerycountymd.gov/covid19/vaccine/#dashboard

AT LEAST 1 DOSE

Montgomery County continues to rank #1 nationwide for % of 12+ population fully vaccinated among all US Counties with > 300K residents.

Percentage of 12-17 year olds vaccinated reported as 90% confidence range because of higher margin of error. In this age group, 82,439 have received their first dose and 72,239 have received their second dose as of 10.18.2021.

TRACTS WITH BELOW-AVERAGE FIRST DOSE VAX RATES (ALL AGES) BY RACE/ETHNICITY: FIRST DOSE VACCINATION RATES (12+)

The gap between Black/AA residents and White NH residents

has closed to within1 percentage point.

Source: IMMUNET (as of 10.19.21) and Census ACS 2019 via iPUMS.org. Note: Does NOT include County residents who received a vaccine outside of the State of Maryland.

Note: More than 10% of vaccine records do not include complete race/ethnicity data. This data also does not include residents

vaccinated outside of the State of Maryland. This chart is therefore based on a large but

incomplete sample, thereby under-reporting the actual vaccinate rate for each group. The reader is therefore encouraged to focus on

the relative vs. the absolute rates.

*While cases are decreasing, the number of cases each week are subject to change due to lags in data.

Population ages 10 and older serves as a proxy for the county’s vaccine-eligible population (ages 12+ as of publication of this report) to match case and hospitalization data, which are reported by age groupings 0-9, 10-19, etc.

Breakthrough hospitalizations by age group cannot be published due to small counts (<10) per age group category. Over 80% of breakthrough hospitalizations were among those older than 60.
