EASTHAMPTON — When the city’s public health nurse, Amy Hardt, created a COVID-19 dashboard in March, just under 6% of eligible Easthampton and Westhampton residents had been vaccinated against the virus, and Easthampton was in the state’s second-highest risk category for COVID-19 transmission.
Over the months, Hardt’s weekly updates have shifted into a more optimistic picture: In a Tuesday morning update, Hardt reported that just three confirmed cases of COVID-19 had been recorded in Easthampton throughout June, all of which were mild. Meanwhile, 65% of eligible Easthampton and Westhampton residents are fully vaccinated, while 73% are at least partially vaccinated.
