Fauci says vaccinated Mississippians should wear masks

2 min read On Sunday, Dr. Anthony Fauci expressed that he would wear a face mask, even though he is fully vaccinated, if he were to visit Mississippi the state with the lowest number of vaccinations. He also suggested that it might be wise for vaccinated Mississippians to wear masks as an extra measure of caution.  Presently, only 36.3 percent of Mississippians have received one dose of the vaccine and 29.9 percent are fully vaccinated, according to the Mayo Clinic’s COVID-19 vaccine tracker. This puts Mississippi last behind a slew of other southern and midwestern states with low vaccination rates. These are the areas that Fauci would wear a mask despite his vaccinated status. 

Pop-up clinics aim to increase number of vaccinated Mississippians

Pop-up clinics aim to increase number of vaccinated Mississippians JACKSON, Miss. (WTVA) - The state is trying to increase the amount of vaccinated Mississippians. To do that, the Mississippi State Department of Health has been placing temporary, pop-up clinics in small towns across the state, such as Okolona. As of July 7, only 35% of people in Chickasaw County have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and only 32 percent are fully vaccinated. The statewide vaccination rate is lower than that at only 31 percent. State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs expressed his concern about the low rates based on what he saw in a recent 30-day stretch.
