Unless I'm reading your source wrong it seems to make the opposite point. Your source says that Provincetown has a 114% vaccination rate because the number of people who have used a Provincetown address to get vaccinated is greater than the number last counted in the census - 2k. However, currently, Provincetown, a summer vacation spot, has a population of 60k people.
Even if all of Provincetown residents were vaccinated that would not imply that anywhere near the majority of the people currently in Provincetown were vaccinated. I'm not sure how we can usefully estimate the vaccination rate of the people who have been in Provincetown recently. Google says the vaccination rate for Massachusetts is about 72%. That seems really worrying to me because if that vaccination rate describes the people in Provincetown then the infection rate implies that the vaccine is offering no real protection - i.e. 75% of population vaccinated and 75% of infected were vaccinated.
