MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Tennessee Governor Bill Lee recently commissioned research to learn more about who is hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The research, obtained exclusively by the WMC Action News 5 Investigators, shows white conservatives living in rural areas are most unlikely to get vaccinated.
Martha Biggs is white, identifies as conservative, and owns property in Tipton County, Tennessee.
Due to a pause in the distribution of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, the Dyersburg State Community College Jimmy Naifeh Center at Tipton County will provide the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in.
