Vaccine rollout smooth, as cases rise
The Apalachicola Times
Franklin and Gulf county health officials are seeing tight cooperation when it comes to the vaccine roll-out, but warn residents that an increase in COVID-19 cases requires continued vigilance.
With 964 Gulf residents vaccinated as Tuesday morning, and Franklin close behind with 818, Sarah Quaranta, administrator of the state health department serving both counties, said the rollout has gone well, as the department awaits a further supply of the Moderna vaccine.
But, she warned, with a positivity rate of 20 percent in Franklin, and 19 percent in Gulf, the urgency is to get it down to acceptable levels.
