Over 2.5 million Wisconsini­tes have had at least one shot of a COVID-19 vaccine, state data showed Sunday.

That's over 44% of the state's population, according to the state Department of Health Services.

About 37% of residents are fully vaccinated and have had both doses of a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, or the single shot of a Johnson & Johnson vaccine, according to DHS. Among residents 65 and older, more than 76% are fully vaccinated.

In total, nearly 4.7 million doses have been administer­ed in the state since December, according to DHS. On Saturday, about 14,100 shots were given, adding to the seven-day average number of doses of 37,202, according to DHS.

The weekly average of daily doses continues to fall since it reached a peak of about 64,000 shots on April 11, and health officials are urging people who haven't been vaccinated to sign up for a shot.
