4,819 people over the age of 80 have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine, approximately 74 percent of the county’s 80+ population. 7,648 people between the ages of 50 and 59 have been vaccinated, approximately 42 percent of the county’s population in that age range.

Just over 1.5 percent of the population in the youngest age range has been vaccinated, the ODH reported.
