The covid-19 vaccination rate for Allegheny Township’s police force remains low despite officers having priority access to the free Pfizer vaccine, officials said.
Police Chief Duane Fisher told township supervisors this week that he knows of three officers including him who have received the vaccine so far. The department has nine full-time officers and four part-timers, so that means less than a quarter of the force has been vaccinated.
A fourth officer informed Fisher on Wednesday that he has scheduled an appointment to get the first dose of the two-shot vaccine, the chief said.
