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.
