FRCOG roundtable: Be patient for COVID-19 vaccine ROGERS Published: 3/9/2021 5:16:15 PM Everyone who wants a COVID-19 vaccine will eventually get one, but people need to be patient, was the message during the Franklin Regional Council of Governments’ biweekly COVID-19 Roundtable on Monday. “We’re not even in the middle of (vaccinating) yet,” FRCOG Director of Community Services Phoebe Walker told public health officials from around the county. She added that 18 percent of Franklin County residents have received the first dose of the vaccine, while 9 percent have had a second dose. The good news, she said, is that the number of positive COVID-19 cases reported throughout the county is back to the level they were at before Thanksgiving, when they had started to surge again.
