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.
Because of the lengthy delays in getting Covid Vaccinations in the county of your residence, many of us (me included) went way far away from our home counties to be vaccinated. If Sumter can say they have vaccinated 60%, that's pretty good--many of the residents already got theirs quicker elsewhere.
