York County falls behind in vaccinations amid surge in COVID-19 cases
York Dispatch
York County s vaccination rate is lagging behind most other Pennsylvania counties but local health officials have differing opinions as to why.
About 10,214 residents per 100,000 people have been partially vaccinated in York County, according to state Health Department data. About 15,540 residents per 100,000 people have been fully vaccinated.
Of the 67 counties in the state, that ranks York as 38th and 37th, respectively.
