Stark County sees less demand for the COVID-19 vaccine

The need is still there, she said. Stark County is echoing a trend seen nationwide. Meanwhile, Louisiana has stopped asking the federal government for its full allotment of COVID-19 vaccine. About three-quarters of Kansas counties have turned down new shipments of the vaccine at least once over the past month. And in Mississippi, officials asked the federal government to ship vials in smaller packages so they don’t go to waste. “It is kind of stalling. Some people just don’t want it,” said Stacey Hileman, a nurse with the health department in rural Kansas’ Decatur County, where less than a third of the county’s 2,900 residents have received at least one vaccine dose.

Currently, Ohioans 65 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, as well as high-risk health care workers, K-12 school staff and those with severe congenital, developmental, or early-onset medical disorders and disabilities. The Stark County Health Department   which serves county residents who don t reside in Canton, Alliance or Massillon  is continuing to vaccinate those in the current 1B eligibility group, communication specialist Chris Cugini said in an email. Due to limited quantity and a large volume of folks still in the queue, we ask for patience as we call to schedule your appointment, he said. The majority of clinics this week are devoted to those receiving the second dose of the two-shot vaccine, he said.
