COVID-19 vaccine status and the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) were both highlighted during U.S. Representative Bob Latta’s visit to Van Wert on Thursday.
Latta (R-5th District) stopped at Van Wert Health and the Van Wert County General Health District office and learned that, between December 22, 2020, and Wednesday, March 31, the local health department administered 8,865 doses of coronavirus vaccine.
While at the health department, Latta spoke with Health Commissioner Dr. Paul Kalogerou, Administrator Jeanette Ford, and Director of Nursing Kathy Will, who noted the Moderna vaccine has been the main one shipped to the county, followed by doses of the Pfizer vaccine and a very limited amount of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.
