As of Friday, about 2.73 million Hoosiers had been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, the Indiana Department of Health said. That represents 47 percent of the state’s population eligible for the vaccine—those aged 12 and older, Indiana’s COVID-19 vaccination dashboard shows.
Fully vaccinated individuals have received a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine.
Indiana’s COVID-19 vaccination rate has continued to stagnate, with about 10,500 Hoosiers getting the vaccine each day, according to the state’s seven-day average as of Thursday.
That is down from the state’s peak of more than 50,000 per day in early April.
Health officials have been trying to boost Indiana’s daily vaccination rate by bringing mobile vaccine clinics to cities and towns across the state, including this week at the Jennings County Fair in the southern Indiana city of North Vernon.
The state on Friday reported 218 new COVID-19 cases, marking the 17th straight daily report with fewer than 500 cases.
The department reported two new deaths from COVID-19, raising the cumulative death tally to 13,346.
Statewide hospitalizations due to COVID-19 dropped from 475 on Wednesday to 457 on Thursday, the lowest number since the opening weeks of the pandemic. Hospitalizations are down from a recent high of 1,019 on May 4. The pandemic-high mark was 3,460, set on Nov. 30.
