JOHNSTOWN People assisting with Fulton County’s COVID-19 vaccination Points Of Delivery clinics, or PODs, will now receive stipends for their assistance.
Late in Monday’s county Board of Supervisors’ meeting at the County Office Building, the board authorized an hourly stipend for vaccination auxiliary workers who assist county departments with vaccination PODs.
County Administrative Officer Jon Stead told the board these people already assisting have included medical personnel and emergency medical technicians. He said the stipends were previously agreed to on the committee level.
“It did go through the Finance Committee the prior month,” he said.
