Over the past few weeks, a drop in demand for vaccinations has been reported. With all adults, 16 and over, eligible to receive the vaccine, its more a matter of where and when as opposed to if.
County officials and staff are now focusing efforts on the underserved pockets of residents who, heretofore, were unable to access the vaccine/
