Coronavirus cases are rising, and flu season is in full swing – and Wyoming's children are least protected compared to other states.

Wyoming has ranked as the 5th 'least safe' states to live in during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Natrona County's top doctor took to social media on Friday with a grim announcement.

"Remember, the hospitalizations due to COVID-19 - 99.8% of them are people who have not had their vaccine," he said. "So those of you out there who have not had a vaccine; you're a sitting duck right now."

It has been just over a year and a month since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and things are looking better everyday in terms of getting back to normal, slowly but surely at least. But as the updated statistics show, Wyoming is still among the safer states throughout it all.

Teton County led the state with a 53 percent vaccination rate. At the other end of the spectrum were Campbell and Crook counties in northeastern Wyoming at 14 percent.

We all cannot possibly be more appreciative of everything that healthcare workers do everyday for us and that is even before we start talking about the job they have done during the pandemic. They are incredible and certainly deserve any sort of reward they have coming to them. Chipotle may have at least a little something for them.
