Huntsville Hospital CEO: 70K need to get vaccinated in Madison County

Huntsville Hospital CEO Jeff Samz is urging more people to get vaccinated. He spoke on the topic on Sept. 1 during the City of Huntsville’s weekly COVID-19 briefing.  Samz stated these numbers for Madison County:

  • We currently have 150,000 unvaccinated people
  • 50,000 are children under age 12, unable to get the vaccine
  • Of the 100,000 people left who can get vaccinated, 70 percent (70,000 people) need to get the vaccine to help get our community past this pandemic

“We don’t need a few people to get vaccinated. We need 70,000 people to go get vaccinated,” Samz stressed.

“The individual choices people are making in our community to not get vaccinated are having an impact on everyone,” he added.

Watch Samz’ full comments, starting at 1:00.

As of September 2, Huntsville Hospital had 208 in-patients, with 45 in ICU, and 35 on ventilators. According to Samz, 90 percent of those cases are unvaccinated people.

You can sign up for the vaccine today at huntsvillehospital.org, through your doctors’ office, or at vaccines.gov for an appointment at a local pharmacy.  If you know someone who isn’t vaccinated, please urge them to talk with their doctor today.
