HENDERSON â Like their counterparts in much of the country, rural counties in North Carolina were slower than urban ones in the winter and spring to get COVID-19 vaccinations into the arms of their residents, a new report published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control says.
That trend was and remains evident in the Tri-County, where 39.0% of residents in Vance County, 40.8% in Granville County and 41.8% in Warren County had received first-dose vaccinations as of Tuesday.
In the urban communities just to the regionâs south, first-dose shots have reached 53.1% of residents in Wake County, 52.1% in Durham County and a state-leading 60.7% of residents in Orange County.
HENDERSON — The Tri-County continues to lag the state average when it comes to residents getting their COVID-19 vaccinations, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services reports.
