Fox Midday News Laura Pence Cohost gives a news update on Carolina AM
Some researchers claim that South Carolina is one of the most efficient states when it comes to administering the COVID-19 vaccine, but one of the worst in terms of the total number of people vaccinated. Researchers at Brown and Harvard University say that 80.6% of the doses of the coronavirus vaccine distributed in South Carolina were administered, which ranks the state as the fifth most efficient in administering vaccines. A doctor believes Palmetto’s condition is going well because we don’t just depend on hospitals. But with that good news comes that too. South Carolina is at the worst national level in terms of the number of people vaccinated. We are ranked 40th in people who received their first vaccine and 47th in people who were fully vaccinated. Fortunately, the number of cases in the state has decreased by about 36% in the past three weeks.
