You can't really compare CA to Mississippi and West Virginia. CA has huge pockets of parents who are vehement about their parental rights. Silicon Valley is ground zero for vaccination abstention.
Silicon Valley isn't. I work there, and most have a rational belief in science. The latest numbers were 2.06% for Santa Clara County. Marin County gets the publicity because a few schools had a high rate of personal belief exemptions, but they're under 6%.
The biggest number is from some rural counties like Humboldt, Lassen, Nevada, Plumas, and Mono. All are double-digit PME percentages. It's on page 27.
