Holdouts ‘Rush to Get Shots’ as Delta Variant Spreads

Wall Street Journal: “Growing numbers of people are getting Covid-19 vaccines in areas hit hard by the Delta variant—offering a glimmer of hope but still far short of what is needed to end the pandemic.”

Washington Post: “More than 856,000 doses were administered Friday, the highest daily figure since July 3… This was the third week that states with the highest numbers of coronavirus cases also had the highest vaccination numbers.”

“Vaccine-hesitant pockets of the country turned hot spots, including Louisiana, experienced a 114 percent increase in uptake, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Arkansas recorded a 96 percent increase, Alabama, 65 percent, and Missouri, 49 percent.”
