It's more complicated than that. Vaccines were prioritized base on the number of reported cases. Rural areas, for the most part, had fewer reported cases per capita and did not receive vaccines early on, say compared to NYC or LA.
Even within states that applied. Most of the early supplies of vaccines went to Atlanta metro, Savannah Metro areas. Even just outside the Atlanta metro by 20 miles, it was almost a month after first deliveries that we had enough here just to cover first responders, never mind the general population.
So, I'm not surprised at these statistics.
