Tennessee is the 49th most vaccinated state in the US among nursing and care homes.
COVID-19 claimed 149 lives in Tennessee in the week ending March 6. This is a decrease from the week before.
There have been up to 25,222 fatalities tied to COVID-19 in Tennessee.
Vaccination rates are consistently high across US nursing and care homes, much higher than vaccination rates in the general public.
