The Allegheny County Health Department will start administering the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at its Castle Shannon distribution site next week.
County officials said the health department received four trays of the Pfizer vaccine to be used for first doses. Appointments are required to receive a dose and individuals must be aged 65 and older, due to limited vaccine supply.
Second-dose clinics for the Moderna vaccine are also being scheduled this week for people who had gotten their first dose at the department’s Monroeville distribution site between Feb. 1-4. Emails with links containing second-dose registration links will be sent out this week to those individuals. The second-dose clinic will also take place in Monroeville between March 1-4.
