> There are places like New York that have 95% over 18

Per your link, not NYCity, and not NYState. Maybe some regions of NY have that number?

Also, people under 18 exist. Vaccinating adults-only is never going to create herd immunity.

OP's link supports their numbers for NY state: 95% of 18+ year olds have 1 shot, 83.4% of 18+ year olds have completed vaccine series.

oh, I see, 95% is the top line summary, but it's larger than all the drilldown categories except 54-74 (99+%). Something is wrong with the data; there aren't that many more people in the 55-74 bucket than others.
