ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Comparatively few people are electing to receive COVID-19 vaccinations compared to earlier this year, but the Belmont County Health Department continues to administer shots.
“We’re definitely seeing less and less people each week,” Linda Mehl, department director of nursing, said. “This week we only had about 250 or so scheduled (for second doses) and we were doing walk-ins all afternoon, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. They’re kind of trickling in.”
The Pfizer BioNTech and Moderna versions of the vaccine each require two doses administered about a month apart.
“It’s definitely a lot less than we’ve done the past several weeks, but I don’t think we’re unique in that,” Mehl said.
