An initially restricted supply of COVID-19 vaccines seems to be loosening for some area counties, as Indiana. Gov. Eric Holcomb recently announced the state would receive 13,000 more doses, raising its weekly federal allotment to 91,000.
In St. Joseph County, the 7-day rolling average of new cases on Friday dropped to 81, the lowest level since Oct. 9. More good news followed: the county will begin receiving 1,000 more vaccine doses for at least the next four weeks, said county deputy health officer Dr. Mark Fox. Thatâs an increase from 1,500 to 2,500 per week, enabling the health department vaccine clinic to increase daily vaccinations from 300 to 500.
