"We know that people who are older are more likely to want the vaccine ostensibly because they know they're at higher risk," she said. "The rhetoric is, 'I'm younger, I'm healthier, I'm at lower risk,' and all of those things are true. But it doesn't mean that they aren't still susceptible to the virus."
Among Tennesseans 70 years old and older, data from the Tennessee Department of Health shows 75.3 percent have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
