We’re not out of the woods yet, and Wayne County leaders continue to urge residents to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.

At Tuesday’s county board meeting, Wayne County Manager Craig Honeycutt says they’re willing to come out to vaccinate groups of 24 persons or more.

Commissioner Freeman Hardison says vaccine hesitancy appears to have struck Wayne County.

Hardison says the hospital has seen a decrease in the number of people coming in to get shots.

Both Hardison and Honeycutt encouraged all residents 16 and up to register to get inoculated.
