Shirley Nolan, a retired teacher, was the first resident at Benjamin Healthcare Center in Boston to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as the doses started going out to long-term care facilities in Massachusetts.
The Athens City-County Health Department on Wednesday began administering COVID-19 vaccines to EMS workers and select congregate care facilities at a point of dispensing clinic (POD) located at the Athens Community Center.
The health department on Monday received 500 total doses of the Moderna vaccine, 190 of which were immediately given to Appalachian Behavioral Healthcare, a psychiatric hospital for mentally ill adults in southeast Ohio, health department Administrator Jack Pepper said in an emailed statement.
âWe are pleased that the vaccine has arrived in Athens County and are looking forward to getting it quickly dispensed to the highest priority groups as identified by the Ohio Department of Health,â he said.
