Maryland County Works To Counter Vaccine Hesitancy

Local and state governments are finding new ways to combat hesitancy and encourage people to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

As vaccination rates tumble across the country, local and state leaders are having to find new ways to get more people vaccinated.  "We are knocking on doors to find and talk to texting like crazy and also calling cell phones home phones to make sure people know where and when they can get vaccinated," said David Sloan, director of public affairs for Prince George's County, Maryland.  Prince George's County Maryland is located just outside of Washington DC and is the second most populous county in the state but it lags behind when it comes to vaccination rates.
