ALBANY, N.Y. — On Friday morning, New York State hit the 40 percent mark for share of the total population that has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

That’s according to the latest data from the state’s COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker, as of 11 a.m. Friday.

Just over 8 million New Yorkers (8,031,460 to be exact) have received a minimum of one vaccine dose, or 40.2 percent, up from 7.91 million, or 39.6 percent, the day before.

Nearly 5.4 million New Yorkers, or 27 percent, have completed a vaccine series, as of Friday. That’s up from 5.27 million, or 26.4 percent, a day prior.
