Two months into the COVID vaccines distribution, nearly 50,000 Chatham County residents have received at least one dose of vaccine, for a rate of 26,365 per 100,000 residents. That s about 1.6 times better than the statewide rate of 16,594 per 10,000 residents.  But who in Chatham County is most likely to have gotten the vaccine is less clear. Statewide, the Georgia Department of Public Health Vaccine Dashboard as of Monday at noon indicated about 17% of recipients so far have been Black, 63% white and 4% Asian. Georgia is about 33% Black, 60% white, and 4% Asian. Less than 2% of recipients statewide identified as Hispanic, though no ethnicity was listed for more than a third of vaccine recipients.
