Drug companies are racing to develop an effective covid-19 vaccine.

But 1 in 3 Americans say they wouldn’t get vaccinated.

That’s according to a recent national Gallup poll.

Personal-finance website WalletHub looked at vaccination rates by state.

WalletHub analyzed the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 18 key metrics, ranging from share of vaccinated children to share of people without health insurance to flu vaccination rate among adults.

With 1 being the best, it found South Carolina:

• 34th – Influenza vaccination rate in children aged 6 months to 17 years old

• 31st – Share of teenagers aged 13-17 with up-todate HPV vaccination

• 34th – Share of teenagers aged 13-17 with MenACWY vaccination • 35th – Flu vaccination coverage rate among adults

• 31st – Share of adults with tetanus vaccination

• 41st – Share of adults aged 60 and older with zoster vaccination

• 27th – Share of children 19-35 months old living in poverty with combined 7-vaccine series

• 41st – Share of civilian non-institutionalized population without health insur

• 17th – Share of children under 6 years old participating in an immunization information System

The World Health Organization estimates vaccines prevented at least 10 million deaths worldwide between 2010-2015.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates vaccines eliminated $1.38 trillion in societal costs that those disease would have caused.
