The Lancaster County Commissioners approved an agreement with Lancaster General Health Wednesday to use the former Bon Ton at Park City mall as a mass COVID-19 vaccination center this spring.
The plan is to turn the former department store into a community vaccination cite capable of administering up to 6,000 shots a day.
But as Dr. Michael R. Ripchinski, the chief clinical officer for LGH reiterated Wednesday, the plan hinges on getting enough doses.
He said that the hospital is willing to divert some of its weekly allocation in March, when vaccinations at the cite are slated to begin, and that the hospital system is currently in talks with FEMA to receive direct allocations of doses, by passing the Pennsylvania Department of Health allocation system which has frustrated local leaders.

A covid-19 pop-up testing clinic got underway Saturday at the Indiana Mall parking lot, but the numbers are not as high as the last time the free testing clinic was held.
Indiana County Emergency Management Director Tom Stutzman reported that on the first day of testing on Saturday, 46 tests were administered and another 17 tests were performed on Sunday. The last time the county held a covid-19 pop-up testing clinic, 145 tests were administered on the first day while another 106 were administered on the second day.
