MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Mississippi health officials report vaccinating about 70 percent of people 65 and over with at least one dose.
But vaccine demand is dropping dramatically and a new study may reveal why.
In April, there’s been a consistent drop each week in vaccinations in Mississippi. About 50,000 fewer vaccines were administered last week than the beginning of the month.
“We knew we were going to have trouble getting younger people immunized. It’s the same things we’ve seen with flu shots and other things, so that’s going to continue to be an uphill battle,” said Dr. Thomas Dobbs, Mississippi state health officer.
