Is there some number of seniors that intend to get vaccinated but haven’t yet? If so, what are they waiting for? I’m hopeful seeing the Villages Health is now inoculating their members.
How accurate can the Sumter County numbers be if so many of us were vaccinated in other counties? Sumter was way too late in getting their act together, while Lake, Marion and Orange counties were getting it done. I’m quite confident the numbers are much greater for Sumter residents.
