About 69% of people living in Middlesex County are fully vaccinated as of Tuesday, according to data from the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That's the highest proportion of any Massachusetts county. 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers someone fully vaccinated two weeks after they've been given a single-dose shot (Johnson & Johnson) or the second of a two-dose shot (either Pfizer or Moderna).

Massachusetts reported 796,925 total cases of coronavirus, an increase of 2% from the week before.

Syringes of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine await patients during a COVID-19 vaccination clinic at Lancaster Health in Salem, Oregon, on Aug. 24.

The five counties with the highest percentage of their population fully vaccinated in Massachusetts as of Tuesday are Middlesex (69%), Norfolk (68%), Essex (64%), Suffolk (63%) and Plymouth (60%).
