Dothan, AL – According to the statement, his name is Dr. Michael Saag and he spoke about the need for vaccinations.
Dr. Saag said that is the only way to bring the pandemic under control.
Recent numbers were dropping, but he added we are seeing signs that is changing.
Alabama’s vaccination rate has climbed to about 36% for those with at least one dose of the COVID vaccine.
Dr. Saag says that is not good enough.
Too many people were going without a mask in crowds over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, even those who were unvaccinated.
While Alabama may not see a surge, the holiday will be a stress test for just how Alabama is doing with vaccinations and following safety procedures for those who are not vaccinated.
