“We’ve seen a slight decrease in the average number of second dose vaccinations administered in the state, per the Indiana State Department of Health, with Hoosiers neglecting to complete their vaccination schedule and receive the second dose,” said CareSource Indiana President Steve Smitherman in the statement.
Other vaccination benefits from the health plan include transportation to and from vaccination appointments, the news release said.
