BATON ROUGE - With just 36 percent of Louisiana residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19, the latest surge in cases and hospitalizations statewide is overwhelmingly being seen in the two-thirds who have opted not to get the shot, according to health experts.
"What you're seeing is this is turning into a bit of a preventable disease," said Dr. Ryan Richard, a pulmonary and critical care physician with the Baton Rouge General. "I can't say that strongly enough of what we're seeing right now."
