State health officials said Friday cases and hospitalizations don’t appear to be dropping after Thanksgiving like they did last year and urged residents to get vaccinated and for those eligible to get booster shots, as the state’s fully vaccinated rate sits at about 55.5 percent, well below the current national rate of 60.5 percent. “For individuals who have not yet been vaccinated, I want to be absolutely clear: You are risking serious illness, hospitalization and even death,” state health director Elizabeth Hertel said....
