WASHINGTON — President Biden’s fellow residents in the nation’s capital are getting vaccinated for COVID-19 at a slower rate than almost anywhere else in the country.
Out of 59 U.S. states and territories, the District of Columbia currently ranks 55th in terms of the number of residents who have been vaccinated. Only the U.S. Virgin Islands, Georgia, Puerto Rico and Micronesia have managed to give a smaller percentage of their populations at least one vaccine shot, according to data from the New York Times.
