How state compares on vaccinations

Arkansas has delivered at least one shot of covid-19 vaccine to 36% of state residents and has fully vaccinated 27%, according to a vaccine-rollout tracking project conducted by The New York Times.

This state continues to lag national averages: 9 percentage points behind the 45% nationally who have received at least first shots, 6 points behind 33% nationally who are fully vaccinated, according to data updated Friday.

Below are U.S. states and territories — along with Palau and the Marshall Islands — faring best and worst in distributing covid-19 vaccines.
