'Highly vaccinated' tier
Of the 111, 108 are indicated as intending to be at the 'highly vaccinated' level, that is, 95% of crew and passengers (including children, apart from those under 5 who are currently ineligible) fully vaccinated.
As for the top-tier 'vaccination standard of excellence,' which means 95% of the onboard population would be up to date, or boosted, zero ships are listed. Ships will be put in that category once they have notified the CDC they've qualified for it.
Green, yellow, orange
The agency's color-coded dashboard tallies 114 ships — 32 as 'green' (no cases of COVID or COVID-like illness), 36 as 'yellow' (reported cases are under the CDC's threshold for investigation) and 46 as 'orange' (reported cases have met the threshold for investigation). None are 'red' (meeting or exceeding the threshold for investigation with additional public health measures in place.
