Vaccination

At least 95% of community members need to be vaccinated to protect against the virus. That number is a lot lower in some western states.

Herd immunity is what protects those who, for medical reasons, cannot take the vaccine, such as newborn babies.

State health officials are recommending that Wyoming residents update their COVID-19 protection with a new COVID booster. They're also recommending that residents get their annual flu vaccine to protect against this year's strain.

About 8 million people have received the COVID-19 bivalent booster shot nationwide — less than 3% of the eligible U.S. population.

There was a sharp increase in deaths in Wyoming in 2021, driven in large part by deaths from COVID-19. That's according to numbers released by the Wyoming Department of Health's Vital Statistics Services office, which show that suicides and overdoses also went up.
