SCDHEC Board decides new plan to give out vaccines, concerns for rural areas
S.C. vaccine doses to be distributed by population By Morgan Newell | January 26, 2021 at 6:31 PM EST - Updated February 16 at 6:11 PM
LANCASTER, S.C. (WBTV) -South Carolina’s board voted on a clearer plan to give out COVID-19 vaccine doses across the state.
Counties with a bigger population get more COVID-19 vaccine doses.
It replaces the current plan where providers in smaller counties wait to get doses from providers in bigger counties.
Leaders hope it will help with efficiency and equity within the state, but there is some concern rural areas are still getting left behind.
