This local hospital is vaccinating thousands of people each week

One in three Americans say they will not get the COVID-19 vaccine.

An Associated Press poll found 67% of Americans will get vaccinated, 15% are certain they will not and 17% say they probably will not.

There are no lines at Butler Hospital because everyone has an appointment. Dedicated employees are checking in with the state daily, updating computer software to get as many shots as possible, according to hospital administrators.

Just this week, Butler Health Systems is vaccinating more than 7,700 people.

The plan is to keep regularly vaccinating people through the summer.
