More than half of Cobb County residents are fully vaccinated — but there’s still an ongoing push to increase vaccinations for the county that’s currently experiencing a surge in COVID cases.
Lisa Cupid, the chairwoman of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, says county officials are urging anyone 12 and over to get vaccinated.
“While I am extremely concerned around communities of color, there’s a certain age group that I am more concerned about, which is our youngest people in our community who can’t get vaccinated,” explained Cupid.
Chairwoman Cupid, a guest on Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” talked with show host Rose Scott about several COVID-19 related topics, including how county commissioners are working to address the crisis through a new Declaration of Emergency, universal masking in schools and the opening of new vaccination clinics.
