PCHD says local demand low for COVID-19 vaccines

PORTSMOUTH Since the COVID-19 vaccines became available, local health departments said they have been long prepared to distribute doses to Scioto County residents.

Over the past month, Smith said a shift from high demand, low supply to low demand, high supply has transpired.
“When we went to do our big clinic for the week, right after Shawnee, it just dried up and didn’t have the demand at all,” he said Friday that first SSU clinic taking place April 1 where more than 400 received the Pfizer vaccine for the first time.

This past year, pets became more important than ever as people were confined to their homes and were able to spend so much more quality time with their pets than they had in the past. People that didn’t have pets before also took to getting one while they were there to teach them and to keep them company when they were home alone for such a long period.
