Where Flagler County stands
As of Tuesday morning, 80% of residents over the age of 65 in Flagler County and 43.7% of all residents in the county have received at least one vaccine, according to Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. My recommendation has been when we reach 50% of our population vaccinated, we could relax some of the requirements, Lord said.
An additional 7,000 residents would need to be vaccinated to reach a 50% rate, according to Lord.
Over the last seven days, around 1,800 Flagler County residents received a vaccine; if vaccine administration continues at that rate, it would take a month to reach 50%.
Bob Snyder, administrator for the Florida Department of Health - Flagler, said the county has not yet reached the point of herd immunity.
