A total 11,074 inmates have received a vaccination through the department as of July 23.

A total of 874 staff members have received a vaccination through the Department to-date. Facility-level vaccination data only reflects how many ADOC staff members have received the vaccine through the Department – it does not include staff who have received a vaccine through a community provider.
