MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The state of Arkansas is taking action to boost demand for the vaccine after a weekend of low turnout for doses.
The state hopes to get numbers up by making more people eligible.
“We noticed that we did not have the demand that we anticipated which indicates either people are getting the vaccinations in different places, we’re getting more of them covered but it also could simply indicate that there’s some resistance to the vaccines,” Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said.
