A total of 140 Park County residents between 80 and 100-years-old are scheduled to be vaccinated Thursday.
On Jan. 28, vaccines were administered between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. at the Shane Living Center in Livingston.
The health department tells us they are struggling to reach the age group due to everything being web-based and people in that group being more isolated in Park County.
The Park City-County Health Department said they have been phone banking for the last couple of days, and have had people call them for a couple of weeks leading up to the vaccination event.
So far, there are 300 people they need to vaccinate in the 80 to 100-years-old range.
