Among the reason doctors don’t believe that number can be attained is a persistent vaccine hesitancy.
“The vaccine supply is improving, but we’re dealing with this huge road block on the path to that, which is vaccine hesitancy. Vaccines in freezers don’t get us herd immunity. Vaccines in arms is what gets us herd immunity,” said Dr. Olulade.
The news is frustrating not only for doctors but for many people who made it a priority to get vaccinated.
“We’re being held back by people who don’t care and people that are self-centered. There’s something wrong with that. I don’t know what can be done, of course,” said James Metzger of Mission Valley.

Black History Month is a time to remember some of the notable African-Americans in oneâs community, be it large or small.
Here in Somerset, no one may be better tailored for that role than Louis Garrett.
For decades, Garrett â tall and thin, always impeccably dressed, usually in a hat â made his trade in the clothing business, dressing some of Somersetâs best and brightest and helping them look sharp. But beyond the needle and thread, Garrett lived an extraordinary life â particularly as a World War II hero.
