CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – It might appear as though Montgomery County is still falling well behind the state on getting folks vaccinated against COVID-19, but if the military community and the federal retail pharmacies are taken into account, that number is actually well over 100,000 vaccines.
In Montgomery County, it appears as though 77,737 COVID-19 vaccines have been reported as of May 3 through the Tennessee Department of Health. This data shows that 21.59% of the population has received at least one dose, and 15.61% are fully vaccinated.
However, Montgomery County Health Director Joey Smith said the state’s data does not account for those who received a vaccine through the Fort Campbell’s Blanchfield Army Community Hospital.
No data on COVID-related employee absences
Here are the Austin Peay State University numbers last updated on April 25, according to their dashboard:
