“I took it in Florence,” Bishopville City Administrator Gregg McCutchen said. “My wife scheduled an appointment for herself on Friday afternoon at the local CVS in Sumter.”
While only a few hundred people received the shots from Lee County, more than 69,000 were able to get it from Richland County, according to data released Monday from DHEC.
Other rural counties, including Saluda and Calhoun, saw much of the same.
With limited access at home, McCutchen said locals face additional challenges when trying to leave.
“So many times some of the very people that are most vulnerable actually do not have that access, that privilege to internet service,” McCutchen said, “and you have to arrive, there is no transportation for it and that also proves to be somewhat of a challenge sometimes for some people.”
