Nursing students from Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus helped Fayette Countyâs COVID-19 Vaccine task force reach the goal of vaccinating 2,000 people at the Uniontown clinic Friday and Saturday, raising the total number of people vaccinated through clinics hosted by hospitals in Uniontown and Connellsville up to 7,000.
The clinics administered vaccines to those registered through the task forceâs database, scheduled in the order they registered, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Although they have made excellent progress to vaccinate as many people as they can, Fayette County Commissioner Vincent Vicites said he believes the clinics have the capacity to administer double or even triple the supply that they have. His hope is that they will receive an increased supply moving forward.
