ST. CLAIRSVILLE Another round of COVID-19 vaccine for Belmont County’s seniors is planned for today, but lack of communication from those wanting the vaccine has hampered the health department’s efforts.
Belmont County Deputy Health Commissioner Robert Sproul made his Wednesday report to the board of commissions, including plans to conduct another vaccination clinic today.
Because of the extreme cold weather, the clinic will be held indoors rather than as a drive-through event as in prior weeks.
“We have the clinic scheduled for Thursday. This time it’s going to be a walk-up,” Sproul said. “We’re going to move it inside. When the weather is better we’ll move back to the drive-through. The public seemed to like that.”
