Hawaii
The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center had been displaying a lower rate of vaccinations in Hawaii than what the state had been reporting because the CRC was collecting its data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vaccine Tracker. However, Hawaii has been reporting data via its state dashboard more quickly. Therefore, the Coronavirus Resource Center has successfully adjusted its method to extract data from the state that it could not previously access. The percentage of Hawaii’s population that is fully vaccinated has been updated to reflect the most up-to-date, higher number.

Alaska's positivity rate dropped on Friday from 1.7% to -0.2% because of a daily decrease of 185,933 total tests. Excluding that unexplained decline, Alaska's positivity rate would be 1.5%.
