Last month, the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency approval to Pfizer and Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines and according to the CDC, 39% of the roughly 31 million doses distributed so far have made their way to residents.

As the rollout enters its second month, the contrast in efficiency between states has garnered growing attention. Some — like North Dakota and West Virginia — have managed to administer over 70% of their vaccine stockpiles, with Texas and Florida leading the way among larger states, delivering 60.6% and 54.4% of their doses respectively.
