Johnson County has reached a COVID-19 vaccination milestone, as over half of all Johnson County residents are now fully inoculated.
That information was included in the latest COVID-19 vaccination update from the University of Iowa. According to Friday’s update, 50.16% of Johnson County residents have successfully completed their vaccinations…either the two-dose Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Another 6.83% have had one dose of the two-dose vaccines. That’s over 75,000 Johnson Country residents who have received either partial or complete inoculations.
Two new student COVID-19 cases have been reported over the last week, with one new employee case reported. One residence hall occupant is currently in self-isolation, and none are in quarantine. Self-isolation is used to separate people infected with the virus from those who are not infected, while quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others.
