No internet, no email SC s rural residents are struggling to get COVID-19 vaccines

No internet, no email. SC s rural residents are struggling to get COVID-19 vaccines Feb. 19 BARNWELL, S.C. The COVID-19 vaccine has been hard to come by in Barnwell County. The small rural county of about 21,000 people on the state s western border has one of the highest per capita rates of coronavirus infection in South Carolina and is one of eight counties in the state without a hospital. Until this week, only one vaccine provider in the county outside the local health department had even received any doses, and it s no longer taking appointments. Desperate to procure more vaccine for his community in recent weeks, Barnwell Mayor Marcus Rivera reached out to local state lawmakers for help. Within hours, he received a call from the Medical University of South Carolina. The hospital wanted to hold a vaccination clinic in Barnwell to pilot its rural distribution process.

How Will Opioid Settlement Dollars Be Used?

Jahd Khalil reports The 11 members of the Opioid Abatement Authority’s board would be required to be drawn from medical professionals, law enforcement, the addiction and recovery community, and legislative staff. The fund the authority oversees would allocate 15% of the funds to localities, 15% to state agencies, and 35% to regional efforts. The remaining 35% would be unrestricted. The bill, introduced by Majority Leader Charniele Herring, was drafted with the help of the Attorney General’s office. Virginia has already won $13 million from the controversial consultants McKinsey. Other lawsuits remain pending, but could be substantial. In other states settlements have been in the billions of dollars.
