Alachua County vaccination rates likely higher than data suggest

The state’s vaccine report shows that 745 people received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine locally Wednesday.   Paul Myers, administrator for the Florida Department of Health in Alachua County, said that many young adult college students who began getting vaccinated this week won’t count toward the local vaccine count because their permanent homes are elsewhere.  Of about 44,000 Florida residents who attend the University of Florida, about 92% of them come from counties outside Alachua County, UF enrollment demographic data show.   “Those doses won’t count toward our numbers, but that doesn’t really matter to me,” Myers said. “This disease doesn’t care about borders.”
