Illinois counties with the highest Covid death rates



New York Times


U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts

In 2021, after the vaccines had been introduced and made widely available, Illinois recorded the 17th lowest per capita mortality rate in the country, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The virus killed 102 of every 100,000 residents here. 
In fact, CDC data show states with higher rates of fully vaccinated residents have significantly lower COVID-19 per capita mortality rates. 
“It clearly shows your likelihood of dying from COVID-19 is much lower if you’re vaccinated,” said Dr. Emily Landon, head of the University of Chicago’s infectious disease prevention and control program. “Vaccines save people’s lives.”
