The state Department of Health revised its statistics on COVID vaccination rates, resulting in an increase in the number of booster shots received.
But it also means a drop in the number of residents who completed their primary vaccine series.
State health officials say some booster doses for those who received a single shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine were initially reported as second doses rather than a booster.
The state’s booster rate is now just over 33% as opposed to the prior 31.4%.
The percentage of residents who have completed their primary vaccine series dropped from 75.5% to 74.5%. Nearly 82% have received at least one dose.
The state reported 1,904 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday. The state’s 7-day average case count is 3,537.
No new deaths were reported. The statewide COVID-19 death toll remains 1,146.
