The state Senate has approved $912 million in pandemic recovery aid. The measure would establish a program that would distribute grants of up to $50,000 to small businesses hurt by the pandemic and resulting mitigation measures. The bill still needs the House of Representatives' approval.
Progress was made on the coronavirus vaccine front yesterday. About 1000 people received their first of two COVID-19 vaccines Wednesday at a drive-thru vaccination clinic in the parking lot of Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom. It was Lehigh Valley Health Network's first mass vaccination clinic. Those who received their first dose Wednesday will be able to get their second dose on February 24th. Appointments for yesterday's clinic filled up in less than five hours after it was announced last week. LVHN says it can't say when clinics like this one will be a regular event because it doesn't know what its vaccine supply will look like.
