Amid a worrying climb in COVID-19 case counts, there is good news on the vaccination front in Montgomery County: the state sent the county its largest delivery of vaccine to date.
“For this week only, we are receiving a double shipment of the Johnson and Johnson, one-shot vaccine equaling 21,000 doses. This is in addition to the 5,850 doses of Pfizer,” said Dr. Val Arkoosh, chair of the county Board of Commissioners.

“Our goal is to offer every public and private school worker a vaccine,” Wolf, a Democrat, said at a press conference that included members of a bipartisan legislative task force involved in the vaccine rollout.
