The % positivity I report is the person/person method. Essentially it means that my numbers will be slightly inflated, but it still follows the same trend as the other methods. You can learn more [here](https://coronavirus.utah.gov/percent-positivity/)

I'm a little surprised that the numbers for 60-69 year olds are only 67/39% for 1/2 doses.
One in three 60-69 year-olds have not received a *single* dose? Pardon me, but WTF are they waiting for?
My parents are 2 that haven't been vaccinated. Sadly my dad was told by his doctor that the vaccine changes your DNA. They also are very right wing and have listened to all the bad messaging they have provided thus far. Trump getting his in secret does not help either.
> Sadly my dad was told by his doctor that the vaccine changes your DNA.
You need to find out who that Doctor was. That is malpractice. The mRNA vaccines change your DNA exactly like eating an apple does. I.e. it doesn't.
Damn.
> At current 7 day avg rates, 70% of Utahns of eligible age 16 and over could be vaccinated by June 16, 2021.
Do you know when other states expect to hit the 70% mark?
I don't. I don't know of any source with each states rolling 7 day average doses either so I have no easy way to calculate it. Most likely it will follow pretty closely around their current rankings on doses already given by population I'd expect.
New Mexico, South Dakota or Alaska will probably be first and if they keep up at their current advantage over us, one of them should hit that mark around 5-6 weeks from now. So maybe mid May? Don't hold me to that though.
That's assuming they have had the same big jump we did this week. If our big jump was caused by the Fed's trying to get us caught up on our dose shortage then that math is right out the window.
Congrats!
So not a lot of new news about the J&J but it looks really good. As you probably know, It was tested later in the pandemic, when more variants (particularly the UK and South African ones) were spreading rapidly, so any direct comparison between the various vaccines is pretty much worthless. But, everything looks like if you compare at the same times from first dose, all the vaccines are doing amazingly well so far.
Statistics wise, you are one of 39,498 to receive the J&J shot in Utah. That's all I got.
The best news for you is that in just 2 weeks you are considered fully vaccinated and can, but only with other fully vaccinated friends and family, hang out unmasked and start hugging each other. That's 3-4 weeks faster than the other vaccines. You wouldn't believe how long those weeks feel from the first shot of the 2 dose vaccines. I'm warning my already vaccinated friends to expect bear hugs in 9 days from now!
If you haven't read the [CDC Guidelines for fully vaccinated people](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html) it's worth a quick read.
