For decades now, the Steelers and Giant Eagle have been partners on the kinds of things that have allowed people to enjoy football weekends in the fall. This year, that partnership is expanding into an area of far more significance.
Starting next week, Giant Eagle Pharmacies will team up with the Steelers to utilize Heinz Field with the idea of getting the COVID-19 vaccine into the arms of as many people as possible. The Steelers have had a long relationship, a long partnership, with Giant Eagle going back decades now, said Steelers President Art Rooney II, and so when Giant Eagle Pharmacy wanted to set up a vaccination site at Heinz Field we thought it was a great idea. A great opportunity to really help them serve the community, and so we re excited it s going to happen.

Howard Cope of Columbiana rolls up his sleeve and receives a vaccine from Trudy Cowie, an LPN with the Columbiana County Health Department.
LISBON Vehicles snaked their way through the Columbiana County Fairgrounds on Friday leading to another 414 local elderly residents receiving their first doses of either the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.
After one man got his vaccine, he let out a joyful cheer which echoed inside the new Columbiana County Vaccination Complex building recently constructed at the fairgrounds. Smiles could clearly be seen, even behind the masks.
“This is a big day for our county,” said Hannah Sutton, the public health emergency preparedness director at the county health department. “A big day. This is what people have been waiting for for a long time.”
