ST. CLAIRSVILLE — Now that Belmont County has begun to receive a vaccine for the COVID-19 pandemic, the health department is scheduling shots.
“Our director of nursing, she is reaching out to set up times to get them vaccinated,” Belmont County Deputy Health Director Robert Sproul said. He outlined this and other activities Wednesday during his weekly update to the county commissioners.
Belmont County has received 300 doses of the Moderna version of the vaccine, which does not require the ultra-cold storage not available in Belmont County. His office will be vaccinating home health workers, hospice workers, emergency medical service responders, primary care practitioners, free-standing emergency department employees, urgent care sites, pharmacy workers, dialysis and dental providers and mobile unit practitioners.
