One notes that Vermont is one of the most highly vaccinated states in the United States. Nevertheless, it is number 2 in terms of new Covid cases on December 6, 2021, and exists at a level 2.5 times higher than the national average. One might infer that a high vaccination percentage does not correlate with a below average number of new cases.
