HOWARD COUNTY, Ind. Indiana hit a big milestone Wednesday. More than half a million Hoosiers have now received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Meanwhile, more than 122,000 Hoosiers have gotten their second dose and are fully vaccinated. While the numbers are encouraging, the state has a long way to go. There are 5.3 million Hoosiers eligible to receive the vaccinations.
