New Bedford Vaccinated Total Remains Concerning

As newly-eligible children ages 5-11 years old get the COVID-19 vaccine, some places are still struggling to get adults to receive the shot. According to CBS 12 in Providence, Bristol County remains at the bottom when it comes to vaccination numbers, with the most recent state data showing 58% of residents are fully vaccinated.

 

In New Bedford, the numbers are even lower. The city only just reached the 50% vaccination rate, according to state data released November 4, with just over 50 thousand residents fully vaccinated compared to the nearly 100 thousand residents in the city.

 

More than 68% of the Commonwealth is fully vaccinated.
