LONG PRAIRIE, MINN. – Like some of the regulars who frequent his barber shop, Datrick Mitchell doesn t see much reason to get vaccinated against COVID-19. I just figure I never got a flu shot either, said the 37-year-old Texas transplant, who was elected last year to the Long Prairie City Council. I m just going to take my chances.
Mitchell s reluctance speaks to the challenge health officials face here and across the United States in boosting immunizations in low-vaccine counties, where residents run an increased risk of sickness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. The concern nationwide is amplified by the recent spread of the much more infectious delta variant.
