Health Department officials expect a shipment of vaccinations for COVID-19 to be delivered next week.
Ashtabula County s three health departments will be receiving shipments of the vaccine, said Christine Kettunen, director of Public Health Nursing at the Ashtabula County Health Department.
The county Health Department expects to receive 200 doses of the vaccine next week, Kettunen said. They will be administered to first responders and healthcare professionals who are not part of hospital systems in the county, she said.
Hospitals in the area will receive doses of the vaccine for their own staff at some point, Kettunen said.
