But where will you go when the vaccine becomes available to you? A dozen retailers will be providing inoculations as soon as they receive deliveries of the COVID vaccine for the public.
In the meantime, these retailers are currently providing the vaccine to healthcare workers and residents at long-term care facilities under Phase 1a of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s phased-in schedule.
Following Phase 1a, the CDC will provide the vaccine to frontline essential workers, including firefighters, police officers, corrections officers, food and agricultural workers, post office workers, manufacturing workers, grocery store workers, and public transit workers.
Customers of the Bradford City Water Authority will see a rate increase next year.
On Wednesday, the authority approved a 2021 budget with an increase from $3.60 to $4.25 per 1,000 gallons of water.
The fixed meter fee of $19 per month for each customer remains the same. Also remaining the same will be the added surcharge that customers in high elevation pay to cover the cost of additional pumping and chlorinating; that surcharge will remain at 55 cents/1,000 gallons.
Executive Director Steve Disney explained the average residential water customer in Bradford uses about 4,000 gallons of water per month, which translates to an approximate increase of $2.60 per month, or $31.20 per year.
UPMC Hamot has begun treating COVID-19 patients with monoclonal antibodies, laboratory-produced molecules that help a person s own immune system fight viruses.
Seven patients have received the infusions so far at the Hamot Infusion Center, 215 Holland St. These are patients with COVID-19 who are at least 65 years old, have a body-mass index of 35 or greater, and have not had the illness for more than 10 days. These are patients with mild to moderate symptoms who are not hosptialized, said Daniel Gessel, Hamot s director of operations. The goal is to help them stay out of the hospital.
Hamot is one of 10 UPMC hospitals to receive an allotment of the drug. Saint Vincent Hospital also has received it and plans to begin treating patients on Jan. 4.

Crisis events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, can have a devastating effect on communities and the care professionals within them. Over recent years, arts-based interventions have helped in a wide range of crisis situations, being recommended to support the workforce during and after complex crisis but there has been no systematic review of the role of arts-based crisis interventions and whether there are cogent themes regarding practice elements and outcomes. We, therefore, conducted a systematic review to (i) define the arts-based change process used during and after crisis events, and (ii) explore the perceptions of intermediate and long-term mental health benefits of arts-based interventions for professionals in caring roles. Our search yielded six studies (all qualitative). All data were thematically aggregated and
