Harrison officials urging younger residents to get vaccinated as COVID numbers rise | News, Sports, Jobs

Times Leader Staff Writer CADIZ Harrison County’s COVID-19 cases have increased over the past couple weeks with most of the new positive results found in individuals in the 20-40 age range a group that officials are encouraging to become vaccinated. Garen Rhome, administrator of the county’s health department, said there have been 11 new cases in the past week, a “relatively large increase” in cases for the county with a population just over 15,000. He said most of those new cases are individuals in their 20s, 30s and 40s. “The cases that we are seeing are in this younger population. … Generally the vaccinated population in the congregate living, were not seeing anything. So the vaccine is working in those who are vaccinated. We’re working on encouraging 20s, 30s, 40s to come out and get that vaccine so we can get through this,” he said.
