The article doesn't say what the age group affected (teens? 30-somethings?) or if they are Florida residents and other important information. We were told at the beginning of this that the important thing was to have the elderly and those at risk for complications to get vaccinated. We've done that as evidenced by Florida's herd immunity in that age demographic. You can't protect everyone from themselves in a free society! The vaccine in there, it's available, it's FREE! Sometimes you just have to let people live (or die) with their own choices.
