WI Is 14th-Most Vaccinated State In America: Study

MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin is the 14th-most vaccinated state in the U.S., according to a new report.

WalletHub studied 50 states and the District of Columbia across 16 metrics, which included various vaccination rates and health insurance coverage.

“Seeing as being anti vaccination has become trendy in some circles and misinformation is all over the internet, it’s more crucial now than ever to spread awareness of the benefits of vaccines and make sure as many people as possible receive potentially life-saving immunizations," wrote Chip Lupo, a WalletHub analyst.

"The states that vaccinate the most provide the safest environments when it comes to public health, as the likelihood that the next outbreak will begin or spread there is minimized."

The top ten most vaccinated states, according to the study, are:

1. Rhode Island
2. Massachusetts
3. Maine
4. Washington
5. Maryland
6. Vermont
7. Minnesota
8. New Hampshire
9. District of Columbia
10. Connecticut

The top ten least vaccinated states, according to the study, are:

42. Arizona

43. New Jersey

44. Nevada

45. Wyoming

46. Florida

47. Texas

48. Oklahoma
