Alabama’s Republican governor made a plea for residents to get COVID-19 vaccines and blamed unvaccinated individuals for the rise in cases.

“We’ve got to get folks to take the shot,” said Gov. Kay Ivey in a news conference. “Folks are supposed to have common sense. But it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the vaccinated folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down,” she added to reporters Thursday. “Let’s get it done.”
