Lancaster County residents wondering how many COVID-19 vaccines sent to their local providers have been administered here are out of luck.
Thatâs because the state Department of Health doesnât have that information publicly available, according to an agency spokeswoman.
â(W)hile the department is continuing to work to ensure we have the most accurate and complete data, there is not a process to regularly pull this data at this time,â Maggi Barton, the departmentâs deputy press secretary, said in an email Wednesday.
State data shows Lancaster County received about 41,000 doses as of Wednesday. However, there is no correlating data showing how many of those doses have been administered.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to linger, many Pennsylvanians are eager to get vaccinated. Some have been able to do so, but others are still waiting. We set a prioritization to make sure that this is done in an ethical and efficient way. We are asking our providers to adhere to that, but at the end of the day, we want people to get vaccinated, said April Hutcheson, a spokesperson for the Department of Health.
