Ball took to Twitter on Sunday, praising the county's efforts. "We will continue our work to reach out to those who have not yet received a vaccine, but we need you to do the same!" he said in a tweet.

"The percentage of variants is increasing. If you haven't already received your shot - now's the time. Variants are more transmissible making it even more important to get vaccinated to protect ourselves and our loved ones who are not eligible," Ball added.
