University Hospitals Samaritan Medical Center kept busy Friday distributing COVID-19 vaccines to hundreds of people. We are going to give 400 shots, said Kathy Witmer, director of communications and development, early in the day. They will not get wasted.
First-responders who didn t receive their first dose yet, as well as local residents 80 years old and older who signed up to receive their first dose, received the vaccine at Friday s clinic.
Samaritan, Drug Mart and the Ohio Department of Health worked together to provide residents the vaccine for the first round of Friday s public clinic at Samaritan. Our first meeting to coordinate this was Tuesday, Witmer said. We have pulled this together in a really short period of time.
