(La Porte County, IN) - The number of people getting vaccinated across the country and locally seems to have hit a wall. Amanda Lahners, Administrator of the La Porte County Health Department, says vaccinations at the health department clinics have been fallen steep downward.

Lahners said the highest number of people being vaccinated in April at health department clinics in a single day topped 500 people but in June reached a low of 20. She says the decline has been "dramatic." Slightly more than 51-percent of La Porte County residents are fully vaccinated compared to just over 50-percent statewide.

The drop in vaccinations comes despite the vaccine still being available at clinics like the one at the former La Porte Hospital and other locations such as Walgreens and Walmart, according to Lahners.
