Over 30% Of Medfield Residents Got At Least 1 Vaccine Dose

MEDFIELD, MA — Nearly 31 percent of Medfield's 11,300 residents have received at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine, according to new state data released Thursday.

The state's vaccine rollout prioritizing the most vulnerable residents is bearing fruit in Medfield, where those 65 or older have received the most vaccinations despite making up just 17 percent of the town's population. About 82 percent of those 65+ have received at least one dose.

Overall, at least 3,461 of 11,260 residents in Medfield have received at least one dose, and at least 1,735 are fully vaccinated.

The Department of Public Health also released town-by-town coronavirus metrics, which showed slight improvements in the coronavirus metrics, although Medfield remained a moderate risk community.

The positive test rate remained steady at 1.43 percent, while the average daily incidence rate per 100,000 dropped from 14.6 to 12.7.

There were 20 confirmed cases in the past two weeks, bringing the total number of cases since the start of the pandemic to 499.

Note: The data omitted vaccinated residents age 0-19 because fewer than 30 in that bracket were vaccinated. The percentages are still relatively correct but are estimations given 0-29 vaccinations are missing from the data.
