Question, Frank. Just curious, but are the percentage of people vaccinated only the residents who are actually vaccinated within the state, or does it include residents who went to MS, GA, and FL to get vaccinated.

Many people who belong to a Covid 19 Vaccine in AL site were reporting getting, and making, appointments for others in other states, especially early on, but even now, as it was recently reported that MS had opened for age 50+.

Guess I am just being hopelessly optimistic that perhaps a higher percentage of our residents are already vaccinated.

The data come from the vaccinators. Alabama does not have a residency requirement. Therefore, I believe this includes out-of-state residents who received doses here and excludes in-state residents who get doses in neighboring states. By and large, I don't believe the net difference is very significant.
