Berkley is possibly the most liberal and educated area in the USA (of significant population) so of course it will be high. In your average city, we will be EXTREMELY lucky if it reaches 65-70%, in the rural areas of the country 50% would be a win.

Antivaxxers are strong in Berkeley. This is pretty impressive honestly, I would have expected to hit 90%, tops.

You're very right. Berkeley was the heart of the whole anti-vax movement a few years ago. So much so that I felt safer taking my (then newborn) to Eastern Europe than taking her to Berkeley.

But if you dig into the data, it's only one zip code in Berkeley with a high vax rate -- the wealthiest part of Berkeley up in the hills, which are mostly older people.

The zip code with all the students is one of the lowest in the state.
