Lebanon County s only county-run mass site for coronavirus vaccinations opened Wednesday in an ex-Kmart building, with 611 people scheduled to be vaccinated in the first day and 3,000 total over a three-day period. It feels overdue, said Bob Dowd, director of the county s department of emergency services. We are thrilled we are able to make this happen. I think there s been a lot of frustration surrounding the availability of vaccines. We re hoping this alleviates a lot of that.

Anticipation was indeed so great that all 3,000 appointments were claimed within about 18 hours of their announcement, Dowd said. Supply is limited such that vaccinations can only take place by appointment, currently of those that are in category 1A, per state rules.
