*The News-Times reached out to an ADH spokesperson to ask why fewer total vaccine doses were reported to have been administered in Union County Friday than on Thursday, but did not hear back by press time. Earlier this week, an ADH spokesperson said doses removed from the county's total were likely reassigned to a different county.
