Peggy Miller receives a COVID-19 vaccine shot from Jeff Pachech, Keller and Munro Pharmacy owner and pharmacist on Monday afternoon at the downtown Lock Haven pharmacy. Miller is one of 100 people who signed up for the 100 doses of vaccine delivered to the drug store.
LOCK HAVEN Nothing to it!
That seems to be the reaction from local residents who are getting the COVID-19 vaccine, and the pharmacists administering the vaccinations.
Although supplies have been slim in this rural area, several area pharmacies are now receiving doses of the vaccine and pharmacists are putting them in arms as quickly as they can.
Weis Pharmacy will begin offering coronavirus vaccines at several State College Weis locations.
The vaccines will be administered at the companyâs Martin Street and Rolling Ridge Drive in-store pharmacies, according to Dennis Curtin, a Weis spokesperson. The vaccinations became available on Thursday.
Vaccinations will be distributed to those who currently meet the Pennsylvania Department of Health qualifications. Curtin said Weis Pharmacy staffs prioritize individuals who are 65 or older and people with high risk-conditions.
To receive the vaccine, one must schedule an appointment with a qualified immunizer on the Weis website.Â
According to Curtin, appointment sign-ups are available one day beforehand. Face coverings are required, and a second immunization will be scheduled after receiving the first dose.
Vaccine Rollout Goals 12:30 am
President Joe Biden is setting a vaccine goal of 100 million shot in his first 100 days in office with the hopes of expanding testing and availability.
“We need all of our strength to persevere through this dark winter, we are entering what may be the toughest and deadliest phase of the virus and let’s set aside politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation.”
But with limited supplies of the vaccine nationwide, Pennsylvania’s plan is to distribute it in 4 phases we are currently still in the first phase. However, health officials just expanded eligibility to people over the age of 65 and those who have high-risk conditions between the ages of 16 and 64.
