BAZETTA — Hundreds of people lined up Wednesday morning at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Trumbull County Combined Health District was able to provide nearly 550 shots to people 80 or older, but was also prepared to give more if necessary.
“We’re looking to give out 550 but it could be 600. Some people may have gotten confused or are supposed to come tomorrow but came today, so we’re prepared to give out 600,” said Sandy Swann, the health district’s director of nursing.
Starting at 9 a.m. the health department, and many volunteers, were prepared to distribute the vaccine. The plan was for the individuals getting the shot to remain in their vehicle and then pull in, two cars at a time, to the old Bazetta fire station.
