Vaccinations significantly down in Escambia County

   April 27, 2021

Escambia County and the City of Pensacola need to change their messaging and spend more money promoting COVID-19 vaccinations after the Florida Department of Health’s report thant total vaccinations dropped 31% last week from 10,119 for April 12-18 to only 6,989 for April 19-25.

The number of people who received their first dose of a two-dose series declined 47.5% – from 4,904 to 2,573.

Only 37.7% of our adult population has been vaccinated.

There will be point when the lack of vaccinated residents will impact tourism, employee and new business recruitment and military transfers in Escambia County.
