(WTWO/WAWV) - According to the C.D.C., at least half of the population in the United States has received one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Nearly three weeks after Indiana extended it s vaccine age eligibility to all Hoosiers aged 16 and older, Dr. Brian Dixon, Director of Public Health Informatics with Regenstrief Institute Inc. says 40% of the state has received at least one shot.
However, there has been a decrease in Hoosiers wanting to get vaccinated, especially among the younger population, Dixon claimed. That is a statewide trend and it s trend nationally that younger populations have not been interested in getting the vaccine, Dixon said.

INDIANAPOLIS There has been a steady decline in COVID-19 numbers in Indiana over the last few weeks, a decline that has surprised even researchers.
“I think it’s baffling to many scientists as to why the disease has kind of flown south for the winter,” said Brian Dixon, Regenstrief Institute s director of informatics.
There have been fewer than 3,000 cases in Indiana each day since Jan. 22. The 1,565 cases reported Tuesday were the lowest since October.
So far, nearly 600,000 Hoosiers have received at least the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine, but Dixon said that is not enough to solely drive the numbers down. He said several factors are likely driving the decline.
