Hi
This is more a question than a letter to the editor and I don’t think it needs publishing. I’m wondering what the denominator is for the “proportion vaccinated” figures cited for MD counties graphic. For example, is it the total county population? Or county residents who meet the profile for the various priority tiers thus far targeted for vaccination? Or something else. It would be helpful for people to know this and an updating of the graphic’s title or an explanatory note would do the trick.
Thanks for doing these reports–very helpful
