SC Rated Best for Vaccine Distribution, Worst for Total Vaccinated

Laura Pence Cohost of Fox Midday News Gives a News Update on Carolina AM

Some researchers say South Carolina is one of the most efficient states when it comes to giving the COVID-19 vaccine, but one of the worst in the total number of people getting shots.  Brown and Harvard University researchers say 80.6% of the coronavirus vaccine doses delivered to South Carolina have been given, which ranks the state as the 5th most efficient in administering shots. One doctor believes the Palmetto state is doing well because we don’t only rely on hospitals. But with that good news also comes this.  South Carolina is towards the bottom nationally in the number of people getting vaccinated.   We rank at number 40 in people receiving their first vaccine and 47th in fully vaccinated people.  Fortunately, total cases in the state have gone down by about 36% over the last three weeks.
