SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. (WMC) - According to recent data reported by the Tennessee Department of Health, Shelby County ranks 84th out of the 95 counties when it comes to COVID-19 vaccinations.
Earlier this week, one of Shelby County’s top doctors, Dr. Jon McCullers told the Memphis Business Journal that the county is getting “shortchanged” by the state with the vaccine rollout.
Memphis Business Journal Editor-in-Chief Greg Akers says the 95 counties should all be getting the same percentage of their population vaccinated at the same rate, according to TDH’s plan.
“A large county like Shelby County would be getting more -- a raw number of doses than a small county but the same percentage of Shelby County should be getting vaccinated as any other county,” said Akers.
