And yet as more vaccines are available than ever, uptake is slowing down.
Sean O’Brien, head of Barnstable County’s Department of Health and Environment, said the county is used to dispensing hundreds of vaccines but a recent county vaccination clinic drew only 25 pre-registered individuals and 25 walk-ins.
During a Thursday morning briefing by the Cape Cod COVID-19 Response Task Force, Cyr said he wants to see increased outreach to people of color, who have lower vaccination rates than white residents.
A weekly vaccination report published Thursday by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health shows that while 65% of white Barnstable County residents have received at least one shot, the percentage fell to 42% and 60% for Black and Hispanic Cape Codders.
