We also lead the state in the number of folks eligible (over 65) to get the vaccine. By a lot.
Of those 65 and older who have at gotten at least the first vaccine we are lagging the state average. State average is 38%. We are at 33%.
Of those 85 and over we are failing miserably. State average is 36%, we are at 23%
I suspect the reason is those closer to 65 are willing to travel to get their vaccines while those 85 and over are less able to travel.
