Mostly located in areas with sparse populations, 533 counties have a surplus of COVID-19 vaccines, according to GoodRx research on available vaccine appointments published March 31.

The federal government, local governments and nonprofit organizations have launched campaigns in recent months to combat vaccine hesitancy to help ensure states administer the vaccines they have been allocated in a timely manner.
