The Cape, ironically, also has the most people vaccinated in the state because of its older population.
Dr. William Hanage, an associate professor of epidemiology at Harvard, says this doesn’t mean people can let their guard down.
“Unfortunately people think that just having a lot of people vaccinated or being leaders in vaccination means you cannot have outbreaks, that’s not true, he said. Not true until you get to a lot of people being vaccinated. When I say a lot of people, I mean roughly 80-percent.”
Residents hope this is the last spike.
“I don’t think it should be a deterrent personally because if you’re taking precautions and everything like why is it any different anywhere else,” Michelle Bailey said.
