The state reports two COVID-19 positivity rates—one with higher education testing and one without.

On Tuesday, Massachusetts reported 56,959 new vaccinations, bringing the state’s total to 6,849,573. About 43 percent of the state’s population is now fully inoculated against COVID-19—meaning they have received both doses of the vaccines manufactured by Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
