COVID-19 cases trending upward as fewer people get vaccinated

COVID-19 cases trending upward as fewer people get vaccinated The demand for vaccines is declining By Kassie Simmons | April 20, 2021 at 5:49 PM EDT - Updated April 20 at 8:07 PM NEW HANOVER/BRUNSWICK COUNTIES, N.C. (WECT) - Around 30 percent of New Hanover County residents are fully vaccinated and about the same are vaccinated in Brunswick County. However, other counties have even lower rates, and health officials say that’s alarming. Fewer younger adults are getting shots, leading to an increase in coronavirus case numbers which threatens to continue the pandemic. “Many younger, healthier patients are finding themselves in the intensive care unit on mechanical ventilation,” said Dr. Philip Brown, the executive vice president for NHRMC. “This is very concerning and this is not what we saw in the earlier parts of the pandemic.”
