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.

It would have been better to vaccinate the over 85 1st to keep the hospitals from becoming overcrowded. Too late now.
