The fact that the same states that have done well in vaccination among children and adults shouldn't be surprising.
Last month's Kaiser poll suggested that this would occur. Among parents who had either been vaccinated or wanted to be immediately, 48% said they would get their children vaccinated right away. Among those who said they wouldn't get vaccinated or would only do so if forced, just 2% said they would get their children vaccinated right away.
But even if the data isn't shocking, it's only helping to solidify worrisome trends.
One of the biggest divides in the adult vaccination map has been the blue/red state divide I spoke about last week. Concentrating on the top 25 states for vaccinations of children, President Joe Biden won 22 of them in last year's election. This includes him winning all the top 19. This is similar to him winning 21 of the top 25 states for vaccinations of adults.
