The Lancaster County Community Vaccination Center will close about a month earlier than expected, Lancaster County Commissioner Craig Lehman confirmed Tuesday.
When plans for the community vaccination center at the Bon Ton were being finalized in February, Dr. Michael Ripchinski, the chief clinical officer for Lancaster General Health, said the plan was to run the facility through the end of June.
In response to a question from a reporter Tuesday, Lehman said on Twitter My information from this weekend and confirmed again today is that the CVC will operate until the beginning of June.
Brett Marcy, spokesperson for the community vaccination center, said the center will stay open at least through early June, though no official decision has been made to close before the end of that month. He said that some staff hours have been reduced because of lower patient volume, but there has been no staff reduction.
