NJ Advanced Media did a study that showed that Cape May County has administered 4,251 vaccines per 100,000 individuals. The next closest county, in New Jersey, is Morris County, at 3,911.
Cape May County has also done the best job of getting people vaccinated twice, which means the person is fully protected. The two approved vaccines require two doses to be administered to become fully effective.
