Values with a * have been suppressed; Rows are suppressed where dose records number less than 30 for a given
demographic. Totals for a town are suppressed in cases where at least one group has fewer than 30 dose records
Individuals with at least one dose: An individual is counted as having at least 1 dose if they have received one
or more doses of vaccine. This is measured as the total number of 1st doses of Moderna and Pfizer vaccine
administered and reported, plus the total number of Janssen/Johnson & Johnson doses administered and
reported.
Fully vaccinated individuals: An individual is counted as fully vaccinated if they have received the number of
doses required to complete the COVID-19 vaccine series. This is measured as the total number of 2nd doses of
Moderna and Pfizer administered and reported plus the total number of Janssen/Johnson & Johnson doses
administered and reported.
Partialy vaccinated individuals: An individual is counted as partially vaccinated if they have received only the
1st dose of a two-dose vaccine (currently Moderna and Pfizer).
Notes on race and ethnicity: NH= Native Hawaiian, PI = Pacific Islander, and AI/AN = American Indian/Alaska
Native. Other include responses that do not fit into the listed categories, including non responses or “prefer not to
say." Unknown includes records from selected providers whose software does not allow them to collect race and
ethnicity data. Reported race and ethnicity are incomplete in MIIS (36% unknown ethnicity; 16% unknown race).
Notes on sex: Until values grow larger, all non-binary data are included in Other. Other also includes unknown
responses where sex was not reported.
Population Data
Source: “Population Estimates 2011-2020, version 2019, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Bureau of
Environmental Health. Version 2019 years 2017-2019 apply updates from U.S. Census Bureau’s County
Population by Characteristics, vintage 2019; all previous years apply updates from U.S. Census Bureau’s County
Population by Characteristics, vintage 2018 or earlier. These estimates were developed by the University of
Massachusetts Donahue Institute (UMDI) in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health,
Bureau of Environmental Health.
UMDI detailed population estimates at fine levels of geography and demographic strata are prone to estimation
error. UMDI Estimated error was best described by age and population size and was used to adjust final
population numbers, however a margin of error exists for all estimates.
Note about Totals: The difference in the MA state population total created by summing the age categories and by
summing the race categories is expected due to the manner in which the estimates were created; the discrepancy
is due to unknown races and small, compounded rounding.
Administration Data
Source: MIIS. Immunization data from most (but not all) providers in Massachusetts are reported into the
Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS) through direct messages from electronic health records
or direct entry by users. Due to inputting and processing, it may take 24-48 hours or more for shipping or
administration data to appear in MIIS. MIIS data are available for analysis one calendar day after they are
reported to the MIIS. Data are current as of time of publication and may be subject to change in future publications
as additional data are reported.
MIIS administration data are collected by individuals' residence zip code. Due to some zip codes spanning multiple
towns, and some towns not having a unique zip code identifier, 15 pairs of towns must be listed with a neighboring
town based on a shared zip code. Population data are added together. These towns are noted in the data and
listed below as follows: Town A, Town B, shared zip code.
Three towns have multiple overlapping zip codes with other towns: Alford, Leyden, and Montgomery. The
populations for these towns are added to the neighboring town listed (see above), though some administrations
may have been received by residents captured by a different zip code shared by a neighboring town.
