LOCK HAVEN The COVID-19 vaccine was a hot topic again yesterday at the Clinton County commissioners meeting, as elected officials continue to show frustration in getting local residents vaccinated and push for more vaccine to be sent to this area.
“Clinton County is not getting hardly any,” commissioner Angela Harding said.
Although more than 300 people received vaccinations at Wednesday’s UPMC clinic at the Dunnstown Fire Hall, Harding explained that those vaccines are being sent to UPMC Williamsport and then distributed to Clinton County. She said the most recent vaccines coming to Clinton County were for Mill Hall Pharmacy and Weis markets.
