Almost half of all Johnson County residents have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, with almost a third having been fully vaccinated.
That’s according to an update released by the University of Iowa. The update states that as of Friday morning, 70,488 Johnson County residents, or 46.64%, have had at least one vaccine dose. 46,937 county residents, or 31.06%, have completed a one- or two-dose vaccination.
The UI itself reported six new cases of COVID-19 among students between Wednesday and Friday and three new cases among employees in that timeframe. Zero residence hall occupants are currently in quarantine, and two are in self-isolation. Quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others, while self-isolation is used separate those diagnosed with the virus from healthy students.
