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.
Data can be misleading. Add in the people that have had covid and recovered, plus unknown numbers of those that had the virus but were unsymptomatic.

Heard immunity may be much closer than it appears.
