i'm glad i have this chance to get some things off my chest.  i live in the "mohawk valley" in central new york state (200 miles from new york city).  i am really irritated by the attitude many of the people around here have towards the pandemic. many examples. i will start with the fact that only 53% of people in this region are fully vaccinated. that is really sickening to me.

That is unacceptable and definitely something to be concerned about. What kind of preventive measures are being taken to try to get the vaccination rates higher? Are local authorities working on providing more accessible vaccinations or educating the public about how important it is to get vaccinated? 

I’m sure there’s some work to be done in the community to make sure everyone is aware and takes the necessary steps in reducing spreading the virus. 
I’d also like to mention that people living in a rural area can have a more difficult time getting vaccinated due to geographical barriers or limited access. What solutions are in place, or what could be done to help bridge the gap? 

These are definitely questions worth asking and addressing in order to help ensure more people take the necessary steps to getting vaccinated.  
In addition, I’d advise talking to people about how to practice social distancing and respecting other people’s rights by not forcing anyone to do anything if they do not wish to be part of those preventive measures and being more understanding of people’s situations. Everyone is entitled to their right to do what’s best for them.
