Almost 10% of Hamilton County residents have begun to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Under the statewide rollout, that includes many first responders, hospital workers, people 65 and older and teachers. But getting the vaccine once eligible isn't easy. The push for vaccine information remains widespread with everyone from the Hamilton County Health Department to Facebook trying to get facts out to people.
Social media giant Facebook has almost 3 billion users worldwide and announced last week they're launching a vaccine campaign to connect people with local vaccine distribution information and data about vaccine usage locally.
Facebook Spokesperson Laura McGorman said, "in Hamilton County, for example, we see that 76% of people would take the COVID vaccine if it were offered to them today. But then in the rest of the state, that number is hovering only at around 60%."
