When visiting Lancasterâs mass vaccination site in March, Gov. Tom Wolf praised the public-private collaboration, saying it was a âreally good example of what local folks can doâ to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the capacity to administer up to 6,000 doses a day â at a time when the public was clamoring for limited vaccine â the site had a wait list of 50,000 in short order.
What it didnât have was a toll-free phone number for patients to call.
And the mass vaccination site â located at the former Bon-Ton department store in Park City Center â still doesnât have a toll-free phone number.

Teams of three will work through the weekend to hand count mail-in ballots following a printing error which rendered the ballots unable to be tallied by machine.
Commissioner Ray D Agostino, chair of the Lancaster County Board of Elections, said the plan is to have 16 teams â each with one ballot reader, one recording onto a new blank ballot and one observer â hand count the approximately 14,000 misprinted ballots.
The effort will begin Friday and continue into the weekend. Poll watchers are very welcome, we want them to be a part of this, he said. Integrity doesn t just happen when things go right. It has to happen when things don t go right.
An error by Lancaster County s mail-in ballot vendor means more than half of all mail-in ballots will have to be hand-counted, causing a significant delay in final results â likely into the weekend.Â
Michigan Elections Resources printed multi-sheet ballots in the wrong order, affecting approximately 14,000 ballots, Lancaster County Board of Elections officials said Tuesday. Those ballots cannot be fed through the countyâs ballot scanners. Â
Roughly 27,000 mail-in ballots were requested for the primary. As of Tuesday afternoon, nearly 18,000 had been returned. We ll be starting the hand count at the end of the week, weekend; we re fleshing that out at the moment,  said Christa Miller, chief clerk of the board of elections. She said she anticipates the hand county will take three to four days to complete, and final results will be available by early next week.Â
