This analysis looks at the trends in vaccinations for COVID-19 in the state of Virginia. We use data from the Virginia Department of Health. The source data was downloaded from the Virginia Department of Health website and is as of March 26, 2022.

\(~\)

This chart shows the total number of doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered in Virginia each day since vaccinations began.

These maps show the distribution of vaccinations across Virginia counties and cities. The first shows the total number of doses administered in each locality. The second shows the number of fully vacciniated individuals, based on the number of second doses administered. The third incorporates the population density with number of doses administered per 100,000 in population.

Interestingly, Fairfax County in Northern Virgnia has clearly received the most vaccinations. However, it represents almost 13% of the population of the state, vastly more than any other locality. So the normalization with population actually shows that Fairfax is not the only leading recipient of vaccinations in the state.
