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.
