Vaccinations reach 3.5% of local residents
INDIANAPOLIS â More than 5,700 residents in the four-county area already have received their first shots of the COVID-19 vaccine, including just over 900 who have received both shots and now are considered fully immune.
The region has a long way to go, but local clinics are getting shots into arms as quickly as they receive them.
As of Friday morning, a total of 4,741 residents in the four-county area had received only the first shot of the two-shot COVID-19 vaccine regimen, according to data from the Indiana State Department of Health. There also are 981 people who have received both shots.
ANGOLA â The coronavirus pandemic hurt many Angola businesses in 2020 and slowed new development and infrastructure projects in the city, but Mayor Richard Hickman said this year has the potential to see the city rebound in a big way.
Hickman, now in his fifth term as mayor, says working toward meeting an urgent need for new housing and making Angola a more appealing place to live and work are two of the items that top his administrationâs agenda in 2021.
Hickman says Angola, like many other communities in northern Indiana, currently has more job openings than it does workers to fill those positions. Over the past several years Steuben Countyâs population has grown, but the pace of growth has been limited by the available housing stock.
