The official resolution source will be the data listed in the Data Table display. This market will resolve to “Yes” if there are 21 or more U.S. states which have administered at least one dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine to 70% of its population aged 18 or older, according to the resolution source, on the resolution date. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” (Note: only the 48 contiguous states, Hawaii, and Alaska will be considered U.S. states for this market. Washington D.C. Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories will not count.) In the event of ambiguity in terms of the market outcome, the market will be resolved in good faith at the sole discretion of the Markets Integrity Committee (MIC).
