“Now we have the opportunity to vaccinate more individuals in our community and again that puts us towards that goal of creating herd immunity and it allows us to really get our community back to where we were pre covid and make it a safer environment for all of us to be,” said Tanya Phillips, Health Promotion Manager with Jackson County Public Health.
