Fewer than half of Sarasota County jail inmates ask to be vaccinated

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office posted a picture of a correctional facility inmate getting the COVID-19 vaccine in mid-April as part of an enthusiastic Facebook post.
The update touted a partnership with healthcare provider NaphCare, which offers services specifically to correctional facilities, to vaccinate any inmate who is willing. On that day, April 14, 50 male and female inmates were vaccinated.
Unfortunately, fewer than half of Sarasota County Jail inmates have requested to be vaccinated, so far. The jail houses more than 840, as of May 5. But only 350 of those inmates – roughly 42% – have been vaccinated.
