Leelanau County has vaccinated 52% of its 16-years-and-older population, according to the latest figures from the state Department of Health and Human Services.
Lisa Peacock, the health officer for the Benzie-Leelanau District Health Department, said she and her staff achieved the milestone with community support.
“We never know for certain exactly why things happen, but I can tell you for certain that in Leelanau County, we’ve just had such great partnerships throughout this entire pandemic response,” she said.
Peacock said those partnerships started at the beginning of the pandemic, when people volunteered to help hang up the signs announcing screening and masking requirements for employees. She said it continues with teenagers talking to their classmates about how to protect their families from the virus, and neighboring health departments donating vaccine doses.
